articles : part II

Hines, Babbette. Photobooth. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2002.

While this book is just a compilation of photo strips found, the preface and

forward were really interesting. Hines talks about how we look at pictures, 

"searching for a resemblance to my own, watch my story unfold as theirs 

does". Understanding ourselves in relationship to others, while also making 

meaning out of these seemingly worthless pictures is something that I focused 

a great deal on with my RA II. She also references "the Face" by Sartre; however, 

I was unable (as was the librarian) to find it anywhere. Also, she talks about 

time -- how these photos can transport you immediately to these other times 

with these individuals found in each strip. Also in photostrips, people are able

 to make themselves who they want to be-- a believable truth that mixes truth 

and fiction. 

Photobooth.net has some stuff on Amélie-- as well as photo booths in other

films and other information about them. They discuss photo booths around the

world, different photo booth artists as well as other projects. I think that this

would be interesting to look at and see how they do work in society and also then

within the film? It also seems like a pretty reputable source that doesn't promote

any crazy ideas.

"For most of us, the photobooth is a shopping mall memory from our childhood, a diversion while waiting for the movie to start. For others, the photobooth is an unbiased and silent historian, capturing a spontaneous moment in four slices of time."

most of the things ive read so far have talked about jeunet and negative aspects of it so I've found some short articles that support Amélie:
