Film & Cassette Tape Portraits by Iri5 Are for Sale, and Yes, They’Re Expensive.
June 25th, 2009
Reader Alex commented on our call for surveyees (take the survey! there’s a prize!) that the stuff we usually feature are cool (of course they are 
) but mostly expensive. Alex, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry but this is another one of those cool-but-expensive stuffs. But they’re not just any stuff, they’re works of art. Remember iri5 and her Ghost in the Machine film & cassette tape portraits? She’s selling her new creations! Yaaay! They’re quite expensive! Yaaay…
The new pieces are still topnotch, like the 12″ x 24″ Audrey Hepburn portrait made of film prints shown above. You can have it for $2,000 (USD). Here’s a 16″ x 16″ portrait of Marilyn Monroe, which is not a part of her Ghost in the Machine series because it’s made from photos of the late artist, as opposed to films or cassette tapes.
This awesome portrait sells for $500, currently the cheapest item on iri5′s store. Right now the most expensive item on the store is this 12″ x 24″ Betty Page portrait, again made from film strips.
Silhouette so shiny. Mmmmm. The price? $3,000. Sorry Alex. Check out the rest of iri5′s work in the store and on her Flickr page.
