In 1994 Böhm consciously made use
of a photobooth to create a mastercopy for his Copy
Art projects.
The resulting photo series was inspired by Francis
Bacon's material (selfportraits on photos and a still
from Battleship Potemkin). The trigger for this was
Böhm's glasses breaking while he was looking for
accommodation in Tübingen. A copy of One Eye 4 is
on the front of the flyer Bekannt verzogen which contained
Böhm's new address.

These pictures just one eye, later called
One Eye 1-4, are repeatedly used together or individually
in some of Böhm's other works (e.g. in Portrait
of the artist as a young man), mostly however in
photocopied form as in Collage
on wood, or as in Bekannt verzogen (see above).
