Yesterday I went to an expo in Brussels near Botanique (is a big jardin in the middle of the center of Brussels where they do concerts, expo, or even to walk) called " Derrière le rideau. L'estétique. Photomaton".
This expo made me think of the movie " Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain ". It's a success in Europe and even worldwide! This french movie goes about a shy Paris girl that has found a photo-book in the subway, the book is from, a boy. And while she's looking in the book, she sees pictures from all different people, with each of them different emotions. She's searching the boy to give his book back. While in the meantime, she tries to live for other people to get a life more enjoyable and for herself...
If you didn't saw this movie, I really recommend to go and see it! You'll love it!

So what I was trying to say why I started to talk about the movie is because some movie-scenes came up in my head while walking around the space! It had something special.
"Behind the scene - the aesthetics of a photo booth".
When the first photo booth in 1928 were installed in Paris, the surrealists were intensive and compulsive to use it. In several minutes and cheap, the unit offered them an experience that was similar to automatic writing, but in the field of portraiture. Since then, generations of artists became fascinated by the principle of the photo booth.
