Performance Art Gone Bad

This gadget might have been created from a YouTube video that was popular so it makes a clever little vignette of a girl dancing on sponges on a soapy floor... RIP Michael Jackson.
Some kind of goofy performance art no doubt.

Famous Photographers’ Self-Portraits in Mirrors


" These are professionals. They spend their days behind the camera, so it’s quite exciting to peek into this intimate moment in their private space, to soak in the details — from the dimples in their face to the patterns of their wallpaper to their camera gear. A demure Diane Arbus in the ’40s, a surreal Weegee in the ’50s, a sexy Helmut Newton in the ’70s — we’re fascinated by these pre-Internet, pre-cliché images from the masters. Here are a few known art photographers and noted photojournalists shooting themselves."
