Cameras As Art
Filed under: Art
Wayne Martin Belger is an artist with a specialty of making photo cameras that include unusual components in the mechanism, often not for the squeamish. Below is a piece entitled Untouchable (HIV) and features a most novel way of implementing a color filter.
4"x5" camera made from Aluminium, Copper, Titanium, Acrylic and HIV positive blood. The blood pumps through the camera then in front of the pinhole and becomes my #25 red filter. Designed to shoot a geographic comparison of people suffering from HIV.
More from the artist also known as Boy of Blue..
