“These are found photographs, discovered, and I think one of the reasons why I was able to discover these was because of my...contact with surrealist objects...A wall that consisted of planks...that had a sign painted on it, had to be moved from one place to another. But in doing that they didn’t follow the order of the planks and so the planks got scrambled and created curiously a thing which is only valuable for its design...and also...mystery.” Siskind, from transcript of Judith Wechsler’s film, Aaron Siskind: Making Pictures, 1991.
