PHOBOS EX MACHINA is a photography book that addresses the problem of image manipulation. The title refers to classical Greek mythology, where Phobos symbolizes the God of Fear. On the other hand, the term "Deus ex Machina" comes from the Greek tragedy, describing a situation when a special machine brought the deities to the stage, changing the course of events. "Phobos ex Machina" refers to the induced fear that transforms our beliefs and influences our actions.
