Call Number: GEN MSS 1460, Series III

Scope and Contents

Series III contains photographic works created by Bory that relate to his poetic practice and that reflect his interest in collage, photomontage, and in the relation between text and image. Several pieces feature imagery of books and typewriters, a recurring theme in Bory's oeuvre. The series comprise magazine issues in which the photographs were published, as well as postcards and prints.
