The countless documents included here feature shots of Francis Bacon, Billy Childish, Allen Ginsberg, John F.

"Photobooth "draws a fantastic inventory of artistic variations on the snapshot, bringing together works of art and self-portraits of persons both known and unknown, from the 1920s to the present.
