In collaboration with Erik Blinderman.
Performance, installation and photography.
Oppenheimer Space, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2008.

This piece consisted of an installation, a performance and resulting photograph made in collaboration with Erik Blinderman. A small gallery space was doubled in black vinyl at its rear, accessed by installing Erik’s piece Speakeasy modified with a peep-hole fitted with a lens. This effectively turned the black double into a ‘camera obscura’ in which life size photographs (1m x 2m) of the original gallery space were exposed and immediately developed. The performance included an announcement, the photo shoot, and the development, which lasted 2 hours.
