14 DAY TRIAL // It's one thing to taxidermize an animal, and another entirely to use said animal as a casing for a camera, but that is precisely what Nico Krebs and Taiyo Onorato did.
They didn't even settle for that one thing either. As though a camera with a shell made out of a taxidermied armadillo weren't enough bizarre for one day.
They also did something similar with a turtle shell, horns, even a stack of books.
And as if those things weren't enough, they turned a camera into a mannequin head as well, and they even built one with a body made of stone.
That last one, if nothing else, would give owners an incentive not to lose their footing while hiking mountain trails. It wouldn't do for them to fall and catch the rock with their head.
Then again, none of the products were sold, or ever will be. Krebs and Onorato said they made most of them for As Long As It Photographs / It Must Be A Camera, a two-part art book from 2011. Some were functional, but none were used for their intended purpose all that often, if they were used at all.
