Demonstrating his belief that the apparatuses of popular culture are a legitimate means to produce art, Andy Warhol embarked on a series of photo booth photographs in the 1960s. Inherently a device for producing self-portraiture, the format allows for instantaneousness and spontaneity within the fixed setting of the booth and a controlled time frame. In this strip of eight images, Warhol played with the notion of disguise through gestures and props while the camera automatically exposed each frame.
