EKWC – Camera Obscura Construction

The first step of my project was to do research at the EKWC, where I converted my studio and adjacent clay storage room to a camera obscura.

: View of my studio at the EKWC; positioning the spot where the lens hole will be drilled

: View of the clay storage room at the EKWC; a dark space suitable for converting it to a camera obscura

: Large water cooled diamond core drill and resulting 15 cm Ø lens hole

: Drilling the lens hole

: Widening the lens hole to facilitate a larger lens angle

: Tools for widening the lens hole

: Darkening the scene background

: Lens and lamps

: Rear view of projection panel inside camera obscura

: Lens as seen inside the camera obscura

: Setup in front of camera obscura (lens on the left)
