As soon as we cross the door [of a movie theater], one and a half hour of our life is inevitably gone. That time will never come back. Imagine what is the responsability of a filmmaker in front of those who will lose one hour and a half of their life to see his work!
— Alexander Sokurov, Interviewed by Antoine de Baecque and Olivier Joyard, Cahiers du cinéma, Janv. 1998

Just watched ‘Russian Ark’ and I can’t say that I have lost my time!… far from it.

Fantaisie, 1863 -by De Torbéchet & Allain Shall we call it “Acute Self-Portraitite”? or is it healthy sarcasm? Nothing much is known about these photographers, except that they specialized in carte-de-visite sized photographs (like this one). This photograph is sometimes identified as a self-portrait of De Torbéchet; it was published in the magazine L’Artiste, ca 1863. I could only find their full names: Zacharie-Jean-Baptiste Torbéchet and Prosper-Denis-Edouard Allain and that, in 1863 they applied to patent a process perfectionning photographical microscopy (no wonder). Some of their thematic carte-de-visite can be seen here. from zeno

You sent for me to talk to you of art; and I have obeyed you in coming. But the main thing I have to tell you is, —that art must not be talked about.
