In progress since 1991, Abelardo Morell’s Camera Obscura project contrasts interior and exterior. Which one will win in the end?
For this piece, Morell used a real camera obscura to project Venice's Saint Mark's Basilica and the adjacent Doge's Palace into an office room. The chair, table and door in the contemporary office interior are nearly swallowed up by the image from outside.
