"Symbionts: Instant Madonna" (J. F. Novotny Photographer + Visual Artist 2019)
Symbionts: How about a model/camera face swap?
"Symbionts" was created as an ironic-surreal combination of the preoccupation with portraits of human models and the sometimes very human faces of historical cameras (the latter previously modelled on my art projects "CameraSelfies" and "ColorLimited: ISO").
While "CameraSelfies" on the one hand attempts to set a monument to these quasi-forgotten cameras and on the other to caricature the ongoing selfie trend, "Symbionts" replaces real faces with the faces of the apparatuses whose task was to portray them.

Weird? Strange? Creepy? Hell, ya. Now let’s see how „Symbionts“ master the face swap between camera and subject. Call them „surreal pop art“: „Symbionts“ have been realised with a reprographic, digital color halftone effect.
