MICHALS, DUANE (1932- ) "The Spirit Leaves the Body." A suite of 7 photographs. Silver prints, each print is 3 1/4x5 inches (8.3x12.7 cm.), the first print with the title, in ink, in the upper margin, and the last print with Michals' signature and edition notation 16/25, in ink, in the lower margin; the remaining prints 2-6 with their respective number, also in ink, also on recto. 1968
From the Collection of the Herb Ritts Foundation. In this rendering of the human spirit, Michals uses double exposure to create the effect of his ghostly other self. 'I believe in the imagination,' he wrote in the introduction to his 1976 title, Real Dreams, 'What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.'
