The Mark of Dust...

"From 9/11 to Hiroshima, from a vandal in the Louvre to the car Mussolini was dragged from, the Whitechapel’s fascinating new show A Handful of Dust sees seismic events in a different light ..." 

Burutapen's insight: 

 There is something magical about the body of work of photographer Man Ray and the current exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery titled "A Handful of Dust" is the proof. The image by the photographer recording the progress of Duchamp's "The Large Glass" (1915–23) through a (very) long exposure sets the tone of this very well told story about fragility. “I will show you fear in a handful of dust,” TS Eliot said in "The Waste Land" (1922), and fear is shown at this exhibition were powerful images of man-made and natural episodes have redefined their context, often temporary, for photographers to rediscovered and capture.
