DESCRIPTION

We created an environmental camera obscura for the Reggio Film Festival 2008.

The camera obscura is an optical device used in drawing or for entertainment. It is one of the inventions leading to photography. The principle can be demonstrated using a box with an hole in one side ( the box may be room-sized, or hangar sized ).Light from a scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface where it is reproduced, in color and upside-down.The image’s perspective is accurate and it can be projected onto paper, which then traced can riproduce an highly accurate representation.
