Impressions de Lumière - L'Arbre de Vie / Chateau de Blacons, France - 2007 - Lloyd Godman

Construction & installation of Chambre Noire - 2007

25 Aug 2007

The structure is completely blacked out with plastic.

 
 
 

 

 

 

In the process of installing there were a few small holes in the plastic, each one of these operated like a pinhole camera. I experimented with a large white cardboard sheet, placing it on oblique angle to the wall and photographing the projected image and the pinhole.

I made a portrait of Beatrice sitting in front with the Chateau projected onto the cardboard.

I also made a portrait of Evelyn sitting in front with the Chateau projected onto the cardboard.
As I began to sketch out the design each pinhole produced an image of the surroundings - here we see four images of the Chateau. Notice the pinholes on the wall.
Here the board is held up to a pinhole in the roof and the trees and sky photographed with a digital camera.
 
Later in the afternoon I began pricking out the image on the plastic.
 

What is actually happening in the image is the gaps in the leaves of the tree are producing tiny apertures like a pinhole image and each ray of light is a projection of the sun.
