Camera Obscura

In 1991, I made my first picture in the dark living room using the camera's black box technology. When making a room to make this picture, I covered all the windows with black plastic to achieve full darkness. Then I opened a small hole in the material used to cover the window. This opening allows the outer inverted image to flow into the rear wall of the room. Normally, I will focus the large format camera on the wall input image and then expose the camera to the film. Initially, the exposure time is 5 to 10 hours.

Eventually this project took me from my living room to various interior designs all over the world. One of the satisfactions I got from making this image came from a strange and natural marriage I saw inside and outside.

A few years ago, in order to increase the visual possibilities of this process, I began using color films and placed lenses in window plastic holes to increase the overall sharpness and brightness of the input image . Now I often use a prism to make the projection upward. Thanks to digital technology, I was able to drastically reduce the exposure time so that we can capture the more instantaneous light. I like the added realism of outdoor work among these new works. The combination of external and internal is now composed of more equal partners

Real-time projection of movies is displayed in the black box of the camera. This is a natural phenomenon that has been used artistically since prehistoric times. The history of using lenses with a dark box camera dates back to 1550. Black box devices for mobile cameras were first used in tents since the beginning of the 17th century, but were not used later for wooden boxes. Cassette cameras are converted to cameras in the 1820s and 1830s. Prior to 1659, magical light was developed by Christian Huygens. The slide that it projects is usually drawn in color on the glass. Huygens' 1659 sketch shows that the video may be part of the earliest screenings. Multimedia phantom eyeglasses were developed around 1790. Also used for rear projection, animation slide show, multi projector (overlay), mobile projector (on rails or on handheld device), smoke, sound, smell, even electric shock scare the audience and bring a convincing ghost Will be experienced

The pioneer of the camera is the black box of the camera. The black box of the camera (Latin is a "dark room") is a natural phenomenon (left to right, upside down) when a scene image on the opposite side of the screen (or wall etc.) is projected from the opening of the screen to form a reversed image )is. On the side opposite the opening. The oldest record of this principle is the description of Han philosopher Moji (from 470 BC to 391 BC). Mozi correctly claims that the black box image of the camera is flipped because the light goes straight from the inside of the camera.

Camera black boxes (multiple camera black boxes or camera black boxes, meaning "darkroom" in Latin: "cameras" (arched rooms or dark rooms) and black boxes "dark and dark") are also pinhole images Known phenomenon This occurs when a scene image on the other side (or wall, etc.) of the screen is projected through the opening in the screen. (Upside down) opening ceremony. Many historical camera black box experiments were conducted in the darkroom as the surrounding environment of the projected image must be relatively dark to make the image sharp.
