Abstract
A probing essay on the work of the American photographer Joel
Peter Witkin in relation to the ideas of the French dramatist
and poet Antonin Artaud. ""As Artaud sought to break through
language in order to touch life, Witkin has sent a burning arrow
into the heart of photography to do the same''. Issues discussed
include the artist as Magus, the influence of fetishism, and the
mask (as photographic Double).
