Man Ray... the obedient dog. Wegman... his master holding monologues. This reel comprises some of the most famous scenes and parodies with Wegman’s legendary and, by now, late companion Man Ray whose obedience is exploited in a series of comic manipulations. In the gaps between image and sound irony lurks: there is for instance Man Ray and a "twin” who are watching tennis (?), while the viewer watches them watching. Finally, Wegman also parodies audio and video “special effects”, demonstrating an absurd “sound mix” and color effects in deadpan satires of futuristic technologies
