[BATAILLE (Georges)].
Supplice of the hundred pieces. 4 photographs, 2 of format 14 x 9 cm, one of 12,5 x 9 cm and one of 13,5 x 8 cm + 1 silver print on glass 11 x 4,5 cm with a stereoscopic view (damaged). Some of these photographs are reproduced in Georges Bataille's book Les Larmes d'Eros. One of them (of the young supplicant Fou-Tchou Li) was given to him by Dr. Adrien Borel during the psychoanalytic treatment he undertook with him in 1925. "This photograph had a decisive role in my life. I have not ceased to be obsessed by this image of pain, both ecstatic and intolerable. Attached: - 10 small photographs (6 x 4.5 cm, some close together two by two). It is not a question on all these photographs of the same supplicant nor of the same torture. In fact a certain number of these photographs circulated at the time, sometimes in the form of postcards.
