SPIRAL CAMERA OBSCURA 2006

Since 1996 we have made many different kind of camera obscuras in Finland and abroad for museums
and galleries as part of exhibitions but also for different kind of public spaces, schools, old peoples homes etc.

These works combine camera obscura phenomenon either to constructions with different shapes, matherials and sizes or to everyday objects. The common thing for them all is that the outside world is reflected upside down through the lenses on mat glass, acryl or tracing paper. This camera obscura phenomenon is like a cubistic video which changes all the time according to the light changes and movements in the world in front of and around of them.
