ivars gravlejs



latvian artist ivars gravlejs's project 'excuse me, could you please take a picture of me?' as he explains: for several months while i was waiting for the tram in prague, i have been asking people to take a picture of me. at the same time when they were photographing me i would film them with the secret camera." eventually he mounted a photo exhibition of the pictures at the tram stop and made a video of the work. take a peek at more here.
