The best thing in
"I & A" is a cabinet of photographs of arrestees at a
Paris police station, made by Alphonse Bertillon in 1890, which proves
conclusively that nonart made at the behest of bad science (in this
case, the visual study of "criminal types") is much more
powerful as ironic post-Modern art than . Photographs and
demonstrational objects that were made and used as part of the
anthropometric work of Alphonse Bertillon, Cesare Lombroso, and other
19th-century scientists turn out to be visually potent in an art
context; "Identity and Alterity" presents them, in fact, as
models some Modern artists followed. |
