Summary/Abstract: This two-part essay focuses on two photographs: Image irrationnelle, by Raoul Ubac and a portrait of Michel Leiris standing next to a sculpture of the African god Gu. The former inclines us to consider the boundary between man and animal, and the latter to reflect on the status of the autobiographical quality in the process of creation.
