"That master of ceremonies, parsimonious, had only provided one pair of them - o communism!... speed was essential. Rub two flints together, you'll see sparks fly! Dry wood itself (if you know how to set about it) is inflammable."

"We say ‘Fire from the Sky’ to simplify things, like telling children they were born in a cabbage. In reality, Sodom blazed up by itself at the amorous contact of its inhabitants with the Angels of the Lord God."

A black and white surrealist self-portrait photograph by artist Claude Cahun, titled Que me veux-tu? (What do you want from me?), created in 1928. The image uses a double exposure or photomontage technique to present two closely intertwined, bald, androgynous figures. One figure on the left looks directly towards the viewer with an intense, steady gaze. The second figure on the right is shown in profile, positioned closely behind the first, appearing to whisper or interact with the other's shoulder/ear area. The composition explores themes of the subconscious "double" and a splitting of identity.

This is a self-portrait photomontage by the French surrealist artist Claude Cahun, titled M.R.M (Sex), created circa 1929. The work explores themes of identity, gender fluidity, and the subconscious, which were central to the Surrealist movement. Cahun, who used the pronoun "they," often challenged traditional gender roles through their self-portraits, blurring the lines between masculine and feminine. The collage incorporates various symbolic elements, including fragmented body parts, a mask with different expressions, a butterfly, and a small figure of a horse inside the head. The title "M.R.M." refers to Marcel Moore, Cahun's stepsister, life partner, and frequent collaborator, who likely took the photograph that serves as the base for the montage.

Grainy and speckled vintage black and white photo of an art assemblage by Claude Cahun. A small wooden artists' model figure, standing with one hand resting on an upturned hammer. The figure is holding a large old fashioned key in their other arm. There is a small star propped against the wall behind the scene. The figure and objects cast a strong shadow on the wall behind them. The image suggests a curiously surreal situation.

Extrait de "Héroïnes", un recueil d'histoires courtes écrit par Claude Cahun entre 1920 et 1925. Il a été édité en 2006 chez l'éditeur 1001 Nuits. L'essai critique qui l'accompagne offre des pistes d'interprétation faisant d'«Héroïnes» la clé pour mieux comprendre son œuvre littéraire principale: «Aveux non Avenus».
J'ai terminé hier "Héroïnes" de Claude Cahun.
Une lecture très éclairante.
Le sentiment de vouloir aider autrui par haine de sa propre imperfection plutôt que par compassion ne m'est pas étranger, comme quoi certaines choses ont peu changées depuis 1924!
