Clementina Viscountess Hawarden and the camera box

As the Homelight project progresses I find myself thinking more and more about the camera as a basic box.

Building cameras

The beginning of this project has largely been about building the boxes that will be used as pinhole cameras by the participants. This is an important stage of the project as it is my chance to add a form of performance to the work. By building the boxes, working with the wood, and ensuring that they are both technically accurate and aesthetically pleasing, I am bringing the cameras to life.
