Imagine covering the back wall of your lounge with photographic paper (in darkeness), and then opening the curtains to expose the paper. The whole room was used as a pinhole camera. Develop each piece of paper and reassemble the life-size collage. Fascinating process!
Voila, a giant picture of the opposite wall, showing big windows and the view outside. Incredible!! The time, the patience and the skill to do something like that are admirable. The result, as I remember it, was stunningly beautiful. I just can’t be sure if it was a Chinese artist, and I certainly can’t remember the name. Oh, umph… I think I saw them in an art book, not even live. Suggestions? Thanks!
