This invaluable drawing presents the scene: “Properly handling the invention of Mr. Daguerre: the military way” of the first act of the work, Wielopole, Wielopole, directed by Tadeusz Kantor.
The drawing has watermarks. The composition was made with ink and pencil and placed in a black cardboard passe-partout. The outline of the female photographer is marked in black ink. The woman is absorbed in the action of photographing/shooting.
The camera consists of a barrel-shaped lens, a bellows, elongated handle-like pincers used to take pictures, a dangling cartridge tape, a large black curtain shielding the screen from the light, and a movable stand supporting the camera. The role of the photographer was created by the actress, Mira Rychlicka. At the bottom of the figure, we can see a black signature: “Wielopole — Wielopole”, 1980, Firenze, T. Kantor. On the back of the drawing, on a sheet of grey card, we can find the following inscriptions on a white sticker: “Widow after the local photographs of the company, Ricordo, gloomy death's agent, Wielopole — Wielopole, 1981, Firenze, ink + crayon”.
The script of Wielopole, Wielopole by Tadeusz Kantor informs us, in point 9, about the activities of the photographer capturing the passing platoon:
‘The camera is directed at the Army. The photographer checks. He starts laughing. He is turning a side handle. A thick barrel extends. Something is pressing there—and here another one jumps out, aimed straight at the Army platoon. [...] The camera turns into a machine gun.’
