Beecher's constructions and format reflect equipment used in film: cameras, viewfinders, and even the film itself. The piece titled "Tim Burton" below) features Burton's face in a space between two film canisters, as though being unrolled: Burton's face appears as it would on a filmstrip. In "Andy Warhol," Warhol's face appears only after one lifts the "camera" front, the piece constructed out of sewn metal and hinge: Allen is inside the camera, much like Allen is the subject of all of his films.
