Shot in 1969, Mitchell Funk takes 3 different images and composites them together on one tiny 35mm frame using scissors a Honeywell Repronar copy machine. He then takes an exacto knife and like a painter with a palette knife scratches out the emulation. All the elements are re-photograph with different colored gels to create this pioneering union of art and photography.
