In 1918 Schad began experimenting with cameraless photographic images inspired by Cubism. This process had been first used, in the years 1834 and 1835, by William Henry Fox Talbot who made cameraless images, that is, prints made by placing objects onto photosensitive paper and then exposing the paper to sunlight which is also known as phtograms. By 1919 Schad was creating photograms from random arrangements of discarded objects he had collected such as torn tickets, receipts and rags. Photograms created from these arrangements were published in 1920 in the magazine Dadaphone by Tristan Tzara, who called them 'Schadographs'.
My "schadogram"
when I created this photogram I chose opaque objects that would look really good for a photogram. This includes a piece of wool, three pencils, two wooden objects and a piece of newspaper. However what I could've improved about this is when exposing my objects in he dark room the objects weren't exposed for the correct amount of time (8 seconds) so when I started to place my paper into the chemicals it never came out as its supposed therefore my 'schadogram' doesn't appear as well as the other as the area surrounding the objects is supposed to be darker.
