A performance-based installation that fosters the experience of being inside a photographic camera in order to watch a performance about the photographic device.
Combining three expressive aspects that complement each other in order to talk about the world, in relation to the history of photography and immaterial heritage, in particular traditional and contemporary skills and expertise in the region of Guimarães, this performance-based installation presents us with a huge stenopeic chamber, within which the audience will have the experience of being inside a photographic camera in order to watch a performance about the photographic device.
Parallel training activities in stenopeic photography complement this project, which this summer in Guimarães, will demonstrate how everything is viewed upside down.
