Punch Bob Interactive Photography
Bob takes incredible photos that reveal the unconscious expressions of people experiencing the moment. Whenever he’s punched, kicked, kissed, hugged, or bludgeoned he triggers a DSLR with studio strobes to freeze the instant. His goal is to show you faces you’ve never seen before.
Punch Bob has led a storied life. He was first installed at LACMA wearing a zombie costume for their Halloween Masquerade, and was set up as a test of strength- the harder he was struck, the higher the score board lit up. He quickly discovered that creative expression and social dynamics were much more interesting than brute strength, and became a photobooth. He’s toured at museums, corporate events, and the very first TEDx. In 2019 he joined Two Bit Circus as a permanent installation.
