Someone pointed out a great deal of effort goes into preparing a
negative carrier to display the 'edge' of a negative. [A vision of
industrious sorts filing away feverishly at aluminum rectangles, making them
ever so slightly larger!]

There's a 'performance photographer' in Europe who takes photos at his
opening with instant cameras. He sticks the developing print on the blank
wall, destroys the camera with a hammer, then piles the remains up at the
bottom of each picture, until the 'showing' fills all the walls of the
gallery.
Not only did he use the entire frame, he used the entire camera!

Now that's art.
