Disposable
A Photo Series

Last updated November of 2011

 

The Disposable photo series is a concept by FHF creator Adel Souto.
Fifteen disposable cameras, each containing a series of art photos. The exterior of each camera is rendered
to become an art object itself, making each piece several works of art at the same time.
Within just a few years the film will deteriorate, and the camera will revert to being a single art object,
but within that time frame, the question arises as to how to save the photos without destroying the exterior artwork.

 

Series No. 1 (featuring artist Anthony Mangicapra)

Throwaways: 8 cameras / 25 photos each.
Adel Souto photographs 200 of his "throwaway poems" scattered throughout NYC, 25 per camera.
Anthony Mangicapra will artistically render the camera.

 

 

Series No. 2 (featuring tattoo artist Liorcifer)

Just Trash: 5 cameras / 27 photos each.
Adel Souto photographs five different (staged) crime scenes.
Tattoo artist Liorcifer will artistically render the camera.

 

 

Series No. 3 (featuring photographer Laetitia Mantis)

It's All Ruined: 2 cameras / 23 photos.
Laetitia Mantis will take the remaining two cameras, and photograph what she desires.
Adel Souto will artistically render the cameras
