1973·Gelatin silver print·8.7 × 13.2 cm (3 7/16 × 5 1/4 in.)

<p>Duane Michals is a pioneer of the staged fine art photograph, in which he uses sequencing and incorporated text to construct a narrative. His orchestrated fictions engage recurring, universal themes: sex, death, love, fear, and violence. This sequence illustrates the bogeyman, a creature that provokes nighttime fears in children everywhere, in a tale that hints at deeper psychological and metaphysical questions as well.</p>
