2 The product of Cahun and Moore’s collaboration has long been presented (in exhibitions and publications) as the sole authorship of Claude Cahun, and many images taken by Marcel Moore, or by both authors, have been and continue to be archived and displayed as self-portraits. However, current scholars such as Tirza True Latimer have amply demonstrated the fact that their art was often the result of a collaborative process, as documented for instance by labels on negatives and letters. See, for example, Latimer (Citation2006).

Enfin calme – du calme conscient, élaboré, des acrobates. Un sourire professionel – et voilà ! Reparaissent la glace à main, le rouge et la poudre aux yeux. Un temps. Un point. Alinéa.”
