The Living Picture Project inTrondheim, Norway

Dear pinhole enthusiasts

In 2004 I built a Camera Obscura, as part of the pinhole exhibition Slow
Vision in Lofoten, Norway. Did I ever show you pictures from the Camera?
Enclosed, you´ll find some - both from outside and inside the camera.

The picture from inside the Lofoten C.O. (table and wall) is taken by the
pinhole artist Bethany de Forest from the Netherlands, when she visited Slow
Vision in 2004.
See pictures from Slow Vision at Jan Kapoors website.

Since then, I moved with my family to Trondheim, 850 km south of Lofoten. The
experience and success with the Camera Obscura in Lofoten, made me planning
for another one. It´s called The Living Picture Project. 21.th of August 2006,
I´ll start working together with 15 architect students at the university of
Trondheim to develop a new Camera Obscura. The course is named ?modelling and
prefabrication?. In other words, the students will use the same technique as
the American architect firm SHoP used when they developed the Camera Obscura
in Greenport Village, Long Island. Digital designed and prefabricated.
Christopher R. Sharples from SHoP (New York) will be one of the lecturers.

The first part of the project is to make a full size model in December 2006.
Next step is to build the real one (hopefully during 2007) by the riverside in
the centre of the city, where a lot of people is passing by every day. The
view is amazing.

Similar to the Camera Obscura in Lofoten, we will use 2 techniques, with and
without lens. We look forward to bring you more information about the Camera
Obscura in Trondheim along the way.

On behalf of the Living Picture project in Trondheim, Norway
