The 3-D portraits of Bernard Pras - Look Closely!
Tom Murphy - Limited Edition of 8.
Pras sets up his camera at a well-defined angle so that the objects themselves merge
and a portrait appears from his amalgamation. The photograph is the only remaining trace of his temporary setup. Note the lightbulbs.

Note the bones.
Donkey - Limited Edition of 8.

I would be screaming too, if surrounded by all that traffic and an overcrowded factory farm feed lot. Note the plastic chair.

'Pras was born (1952) in the south-west of France in a toy shop.
After more than 20 years as a painter, and also a sculptor of recovered objects, Pras conceived in 1997, an astonishing form of expression, using photography as a basis for the creation of what amounts to a form of installation art.'
