'Splinters Of Lost Thoughts'


Splinters Of Lost Thoughts (1932) - Photographic Print

This scene from the 1930 Mexican Potato Boxing championships in Mexico City shows the split-second before AlFuego 'Mighty Fists' Tentopoles was knocked clean out by Erriodor 'Eight Flip-Flops' TelGartier. It marks Tentopoles' departure from professional boxing and into the art world. He has no memory of this pivotal moment and so this photograph was fittingly his first work. Notice how the referee in the top left of the image looks quite provoked. It provokes the viewer.
