Untitled (My Grandfather and his brother Manasse)
Appropriated silver/gelatine baryte paper print with black marker annotation in white passepartout and black frame, with pasted text clippings on the passepartout. The clippings read from left to right:
“Cape Hope, August 7, 1931.” “We got Niels and Manasse to dance. It looked strange. One of them stood quite motionless with his hands on his knees, the other jumped up and down in front of him and beat his drum without stopping, and threw his head now to one side, now to the other, as if he was going to butt his partner.”.
