Photography Cubism not dead

An amazing incident of retrofuturism

Chair Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (French: Chaise descendant un escalier n° 2), Cristian -Kit- Paul, Iasi, 2007

Cubism is not dead and I’m ready to testify—I’ve just seen a chair descending a staircase, 95 years after Mr. Marcel Duchamp saw a nude doing the exact same thing. History repeating¹!

¹ “History Repeating” is a totally addictive arrangement performed by Propellerheads and Shirley Bassey. Watch the video.
