Low resolution image shot with a specially built camera without a lens that can be used as a camera and an interactive installation. Printed on Kodak Duratrans for backlight. Magnification is 1x, because the camera is made as big as I'm tall.

Purpose
Because I made so many very detailed images of butterflies I wanted to see the butterfly view on me, so I created the Butterfly Eye Cam out of 35.000 drinking straws. The result was the image "Me" but also a camera that I exhibited several times as an analog interactive installation.

Please find a photo of "Me" and the Butterfly Eye Cam in an exhibition here->
