Shark Fin atop Pneumatic “Underwater Sled; feature film, “Jaws2”
Robert Cumming
1977 · Gelatin silver print · Photographs
For six months in 1977, Cumming photographed everyday on the sound stages and back lots of Universal Studios. Also a painter, he was known at that moment for technically assured, spatially ambiguous view-camera photographs of quirky, jerry-built tabletop constructions made in the studio. At Universal, however, Cumming found a humming, ready-made factory of hand-crafted illusionism that inspired his greatest photographs.
