Close-Up Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, UK Mel Bochner, Transparent and Opaque (1968/1998) Fernand Léger once claimed to have tricked a cinema audience with an extreme close-up. The audience ‘thought that they recognized a photograph of some planetary surface’. After they had spent some time discussing the image, the artist told them that it was in fact the thumbnail of the lady next to him, magnified ‘a hundred times’.
