+ the story behind the image
The human being as a consumer of images

In February 1954, the Chaplin Studio on La Brea boulevard in Hollywood was handed over to its new owners, who planned to outfit it for TV productions. The faithful Rollie Totheroh had shipped many negatives and prints over to Switzerland, but much still remained. The new owners threw out the contents of the prop room, where among hunderds of other items, the gaint wooden gears from Modern Times (1936) were stored, and they emptied out the film vaults, where the outtakes from nearly forty years were stored.
(from the book The death of cinema by Paolo Cherchi Usai.)
