He would blow the strips up and silkscreen them in various colors and patterns. Warhol elevated to the level of Art what had previously been seen as commonplace and mundane. Popular culture's artifacts became fine art, Warhol was perhaps the first to use the photo booth in this way.
The medium of the photo booth lends itself to personal art, a perfect vehicle for the artist who enjoys working in private. Strange to think of the photo booth as private, set in public spaces as it is, in train stations and bus depots, in arcades and Woolworth's stores, but when the curtain is drawn you are finally alone. No viewer other than yourself.
