Romane & Inès, Botanique, Brussels 2013.

Photomaton

Romane and Inès sticking out tongues at each other behind the curtain of the photobooth. From Willy Michel to Roland Topor, not to mention Andy Warhol, the intimacy of this magical cabin has pushed more than one to commit extravagances. Techniques have evolved but the shiver remains the same, if the number of phone calls to the parent company is anything to go by. Most of them are from clients desperately trying to recuperate the negatives from photos taken the night before. Let’s reassure them : the booths don’t keep any negatives or files. So relax, and Merry Christmas.
