Self taught Californian artist, Wayne Martin Belger, has created a most interesting camera. While the machine has been made with common materials such as aluminium, copper and acrylic, it also has one ingredient that would make most people do a double take; HIV blood. From his description, "The blood pumps through the camera then in front of the pinhole and becomes # 25 filter. Designed to shoot a geographic comparison of people suffering of HIV." Personally, I am not buying that. The explanation sounds like a P.T. Barnum bit but none the less the camera itself is indeed a work of art looking like an Edwardian version of an artificial heart.
