These photographs by Spencer Tunick were shot between 1985 and 1995. They were taken with a half-frame camera when Tunick was working in resorts in upstate New York. The images were placed in hundreds of key chain viewers. For Tunick, the key chain viewers are meant to be a portable memory. By taking the image out of the key chain viewer, Tunick has tried
to highlight some of the personalities. Tunick thinks of these images that came from miniature backlit worlds as conversations within a conversation piece. In 2002 Tunick will participate in the 25th São Paulo Bienale, will have a solo show at the Hales Gallery, London, and will organize a performance for Art in General’s 20th Anniversary.
