From the Negative Facespace series. This psychopathic looking character is a child's toy from the 1960s about 15cm tall. Because it predates by decades, it is entirely uninfluenced by the character from the 2019 film, despite the strength of the caricature.

This image is my interpretation of a display of puppets designed by João Paulo Seara Cardoso, which are on permanent display at the Teatro de Marionetas do Porto. The title is, of course, from Bob Dylan's song from 1967. Another image in the 'Negative Facespace' series. This one started out as a giant planter outside the front door of a house in a narrow street in Birgu. A vintage, detachable doll's face peers into our souls from the void. From the 'Negative Facespace' series. A doll with an understated but all too obvious pissed off look with manic intent. Usually it's the eyes that convey the manic nature; when the pupil is positioned dead-centre of the eye socket and is staring straight ahead we recognise the stereotypical sign of movie-style madness. In this case, however, the fixity of the mouth accentuates the effect of the eyes. This expression on this doll is as close to human as they get. Another from the 'Negative Facespace' series of images. Elsa from the Disney film 'Frozen' gets the 'Negative Facespace' treatment. Because much of popular culture passes me by, I had no idea what this doll was when I set up this image. My only thought was that she looked suitably eerie. My granddaughters enlightened me and even sang the songs, but I still think she's unnaturally sinister. I mean, check out that eye! Hand held, slow shutter speed, conceptual shot, of someone activating the time machine. Captured in the BMW Museum, Munich. Surely three equally spaced pigeons in a row alongside a church cross is an omen of some kind? I encountered this scene in the historical town of Taree, South Australia. A dead doll minus a shoe. Title adapted from a popular Cliff Richard and The Drifters number from 1959. From the 'Negative Facespace' series. This image depicts a side view of one of Antony Gormley's statues on Crosby Beach. A working clock that doubles as an art installation in Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. |
