Description: Exhibiting Man Ray's early Dada affiliations, Emak-Bakia (Leave me alone in Basque) combines a series of visual metaphors in a non-linear structure. Juxtaposes images that evoke the elements of cinema with Dada emblems and employs a fragmented narrative. Its reasons for being are its inventions of light-forms and movements, while the more objective parts interrupt the monotony of abstract inventions or serve as punctuation.
