ghost in the machine series by iri5


jimi hendrix

some of our readers may already be familiar with the work of iri5 (erika iris simmons) that we published a while ago.
but for those of you who aren't - we thought we'd share some more or her 'ghost in the machine series',
which includes portraits of kurt cobain, michael jackson, jimi hendrix and other musicians made from unravelled cassette tape.


michael jackson


john lennon


'in this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape
with original cassette. also included are portraits made from old film and reels. the idea comes
from a phrase (ironically) coined by philosopher gilbert ryle, a description of how your spirit
lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging.'
