Alexandre Castonguay
Jealousy, 1998

 

This is a composite image. Canadian artist Alexandre Castonguay took photographs of four models, male and female, adopting the same expression of jealousy. He digitally fused the images on a computer and set the composite "portrait" against a vivid background colour. The image was printed on traditional colour photographic paper.
