I happened to watch a program on PBS last night that included an interview with Ann Hamilton and shows her making pinhole photos with a "mouth" camera. She states that she "devised" this method over several years. Eric Renner lists Thomas Bachler as doing this in 1986, in his book. Bachler actually used his mouth as the camera, where Hamilton puts a camera into her mouth. Does anyone know anything about Ann Hamilton? - just curious.
