‘DISPOSABLE CAMERA’ is a serie that plays with time, perception, and the fleeting nature of the moment. The objects—designed to be placed on a surface or mounted on the wall—resemble old-fashioned disposable cameras, but with a twist: the lens has been replaced with a mirror that distorts the reflection. Anyone who looks into it sees themselves in a comically warped way, a subtle nod to how memories shift and change over time.
The serie blends nostalgia with humor. The disposable camera, a symbol of analog simplicity, becomes a reflective object that confronts the viewer with their ever-changing appearance. The distorted reflections reinforce the idea that memories not only fade but are also shaped by emotion, context, and time.
With ‘DISPOSABLE CAMERA’, the viewer is playfully reminded of the paradoxical desire to capture moments—while they inevitably remain just out of reach.
