The Prince of darkness in his own avatars

Drawing from his study of a poster (Aldo Mazza’s Canzini, articoli per la fotografia) some twenty years ago,1 the author revisits this document and considers it in the light of a movie sequence from Murnau’s Nosferatu (in fact using other images). Taking into account the unavoidable question of mutatis mutandis, Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle plays with intertextuality by comparing/differentiating between the selected documents. He then searches for words to describe the meanings that present themselves to him. An explanatory discourse that the author had initially only vaguely sensed takes shape. For Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle, describing is an heuristic process.
