I had the same feeling other, but not all, works from this artist. I ended up browsing through the full portfolio. Definitely an interesting find!
or use a nikon f2 camera and double expose...

The intent appears to be the manipulation of the physical space at the time of capture. A double exposure of your subject and then a second exposure of the dove or other image would be no better than photoshopping the image after
The intent is to modify photos other people are making. The artist has no control over the camera taking the picture in this artwork.
I find the Fulgurator a bit subversive and also unsettling, how much in a photo is manipulated at point-of-capture?
I think another way this gets me thinking is that we generally assume that sensors are 'neutral' witnesses, but that's more of a comforting illusion rather than fact. The fulgurator shows manipulation at a physical level, but it's not hard to imagine similar interventions happening at firmware or even silicon.
