This image shows a grid of 24 small black-and-white photos. Each photo captures a hand holding a cigarette, taking a puff. The hand moves slightly in each frame, like a flipbook. The background is dark, and the focus is just on the hand and the glowing cigarette tip. The photos are arranged neatly in rows, with some markings in felt-tip pen adding extra lines. This isn’t a painting—it’s a collage of photos edited together. The artist played with how small changes create movement. Want to see more work like this? Check out Vito Acconci.
