Elongated Imagery

Croix Gagnon's 'Photocopy' Stretches Cigarettes, Fingers, and More

This featured Croix Gagnon 'Photocopy' series was made possible using just a standard laser photocopier and a few random objects.

A cigarette, a finger, hot dogs, tea bags and a grapefruit have all been elongated through the simple process of dragging the item across the scanner's window. Who knew regular objects like those in the Croix Gagnon 'Photocopy' series could be creative with a technology meant for replicating?
