David M.C. Miller - jupiter/1891
A room-size camera obscura.
Painted matte black, the large exterior windows withhold light from the interior room. Painted this way: the windows, a sensitive surface. Passersby pick at the painted glass. Apertures form this way.
Consequently, the surfaces within the interior are themselves 'touched'--enveloped by light, by live, sweeping projections.
The room unfolds, and light joins what was thought to be discreet; the interior and the exterior. Between one place and another, a conduit of light and time.
Black paint (applied to exterior of window facade), glass, cardboard, ladder, graphite, azo paper.
