Today I saw an exhibition called "Concerning the photo booth" at the Photo Art Museum (Museet for Fotokunst) in Odense, Denmark. As the name implies, all the images were produced using the photo booths found at train stations, airports etc. The photographers were Liz Rideal (UK), Herman Costa (US), Jan Wenzel (Germany) and Luc Delahaye & Cendrillon Bélanger (France). The images were either huge blowups of photobooth pictures or huge collages made of hundreds of regular size snaps. Especially those by Wenzel were quite amazing. This is not your typical Leica photography but it is nice to get one's horizons expanded a bit. Highly recommended. The exhibit in Denmark ends on January 7 and will then presumably travel to other European countries.
