self-exposed
Nine pinhole cameras, arranged in a symmetrical grid, silently focus on a single subject. Over two hours, with no photographer present, the cameras patiently "draw" the Image. The subject remains still, yet exposed—both physically and internally—engaging in a quiet, intimate dialogue with the lenses as time passes.
The nine perspectives merge into a single portrait, uniting multiple viewpoints into a layered reflection of a subject who has quietly and vulnerably lived through time.
“For the impressionist, the visible is in continual flux, became fugitive. For the cubist, the visible was no longer what confronted the single eye, but the totality of possible views”
(Berger, J, 1972, p.18)
Twelve-hole camera obscura from Bettini's Apiaria universae philosophiae mathematicae (1642).
