So strange, so alluring. This is a pinhole camera, named after Yama, the Tibetan God of Death. The skull that encases the cameras was blessed by a Tibetan Lama, and will be used by designer Wayne Martin Belger for a photo series on the modern incarnation of Southeast Asians deities. I wouldn’t be surprised if Yama had freaky magical powers.
Yama’s eyes are cast from bronze and silver, with a brass pinhole in each eye. Yama is made from aluminium, titanium, copper, brass, bronze steel, silver, gold, mercury with four sapphires, three rubies, turquoise, sand, slood, and nine opals. The switch to open and close the film chamber is located under the jaw.
