Description
Here the artist transforms an entire room into a pinhole camera to explore the possibilities of photography. Light passes through the small pinhole and projects a clear upside-down image of the scenery outside the window onto the interior wall. Inside this dark “camera”, squarely-cut pieces of photo paper are pasted, by sheer touch, onto the wall as negatives. After exposure, the pieces are rearranged into one neat whole.
