Miguel Villalobos took the photographs on this disposable 35mm camera and signed the camera especially for this auction. You are bidding on the signed camera — when you win it, you can develop the film in the camera and see their original photographs! This is a unique opportunity to own the original creative work of your favorite star.
We asked each participating celebrity in the 2014 "Naked Eye" Celebrity Camera Auction to include at least one self-portrait or self-referencing shot. There are at least 24 exposures on the film.
This auction benefits MIX NYC, home of The New York Queer Experimental Film Festival. For 26 years, MIX has presented the latest in queer experimental film and previously unseen works from legendary lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other queer-identified figures in avant-garde cinema. For more information, visit mixnyc.org.
Thank you for supporting MIX!
