The “Photo booths” series was produced between
1995 and 1997 with Gypsy children. The strictness of
the machine – the gauging of the distance, the
standardised lighting and background, the restrictions
put on the body – brings to mind the process of taking
identity photographs and questions the attitude that we
normally take towards these communities. As a
reaction to the prescriptive and identifying machine, the
children’s faces seem to want to resist by way of
affirming the uniqueness of their personality and their
way of being photographed.
