It is not new but my first time to be inside a camera
obscura, a part of it. I lied down
on the soft seat and watching the street scene projected onto the ceiling, the
wall and floor, with street noise together. The light shines through a lens fitted in one of the
blackened window. Traffic and
people passing by on the projection upside down. I got Zoe Leonard’s
point. Sometimes I do not like the
debate on analogue and digital. At
the end of the day, it is just change of the camera back, photography is purely
light, not physical objects, be it analogue be it digital. It is all mediated image, a virtual
reality – then what is reality, I wouldn’t following up this engaging…
Thinking I want to bring a pin hole camera to this obscura
to take one image…
I quite like Zoe’s work. They are quite down to earth but conceptually
interesting. There are also other
galleries showing her other two series of works. Love all of them.
Decided to buy one of her books.
Camden Art Center’s first visit, I like here, it is an interesting space
– plan to have tea in the ground floor café next time looking pretty.
