DescriptionClose view of the top of a human foot emerging from a dark background at the center of the composition; big toe at right.eMuseum Notes
While
the subject of this photograph is easily recognizable as a human foot, this
ordinary appendage is given a mysterious air by the photographer. By isolating
it from its connection to a leg and to its function, he invites us to see it
freshly, as a form floating in space.
