"Photo booth and automatic photography are interesting to me because of the contrast of their two primary uses. On one hand, they are used for institutional purposes like passport and ID pictures, acting as tools of the imposed systems of control. On the other hand, they are used to capture moments of intimacy: taking a photograph with your romantic partner, your friends, or alone."
