Archive Label 2003: Michals’ later photographs, including this one, were influenced by the surrealist art of the Belgian artist René Magritte. Like Magritte, Michals is interested in creating works that disrupt the viewer’s perceptions. Michals here uses mundane elements to create a humorous scene similar to those depicted by Magritte in his own paintings.
