Fotofinish tells the story of a man who photographs himself to combat loneliness. Played by Antonio Rezza, the man opens a studio and immortalises himself, playing the roles of customer and professional photographer. By multiplying his image, he begins to believe that he is a politician addressing a crowd. Between rallies, he announces that he is building travelling hospitals to go directly to the homes of the sick. In these hospitals, he appears as the head physician, a patient, or a cowled nun who substitutes medicine with the instruments of faith. Through this inflation of his image, he soon convinces himself that he is no longer alone. He gradually loses his mind, but never entirely. In the midst of his ramblings, he transforms himself into a woman, concealing his nudity, and into a man, convinced that he is both at once and imagining himself going out with himself. It is only when he is forced to get a dog to guard his home that he realises that he is alone, and that he himself is the dog guarding his property. However, in an unexpected reversal, he transitions back from being a dog to being a politician and accuses the electorate of failing to understand that nothing has ever existed. The only thing that existed was his loneliness.
Rezza moves among the audience in the central aisle of the theatre, which extends from the illuminated stage. He often leaves the stage to interact with the audience, speaking to them and offering them tomatoes, as well as touching them. Other people are also on stage with Rezza as he selects audience members and brings them up. He tells the men to take off their shirts, then throws their clothing aggressively into the stalls as an act of charity, repeatedly calling the seated audience “poor bastards.” He then instructs the half-naked men to fetch other audience members from the stalls and "kill" them backstage before dragging their "lifeless" bodies onto the stage. By the end of the piece, a large number of people are lying on the floor in a frenzy of derogatory utterances from Rezza, who is staging violent acts on audience members. This is intended as a metaphor for the violence of society against the passive individual.
