CAMERA OBSCURA BY ABELARDO MORELL

Photographer Abelardo Morell - “I made my first picture using camera obscura techniques in my darkened living room in 1991. In setting up a room to make this kind of photograph, I cover all windows with black plastic in order to achieve total darkness. Then, I cut a small hole in the material I use to cover the windows. This opening allows an inverted image of the view outside to flood onto the back walls of the room. Typically then I focused my large-format camera on the incoming image on the wall then make a camera exposure on film. In the beginning, exposures took from five to ten hours”. [see more]

OMA, Prada Men’s SS 2012 Venue, 2012

The field is a commentary on the audience, transformed from indeterminate crowd to regimented, possibly anxious, isolated individuals. Each guest becomes a challenge for the new fashion; each confrontation becomes highly personal. It is based on a zero degree approach: a spatial system as opposed to an elaborated design. Artificial grass covers the floor. Light is provided by 16 panels of 30 PAR lights each, vaguely resembling stadium lighting systems.

Although not designed for aesthetic appeal, this diagram illustrates the intricacy and aesthetic power of a small and oft-hidden object. Memory chips are used to store enormous quantities of data and, often measuring only tenths of an inch in size, are the densest of all integrated circuits; laid out in tabular form, they are primarily one cell repeated thousands of times in an impenetrable grid. Originally acquired by curator Cara McCarty for her 1990 exhibition Information Art: Diagramming Microchips, the complex pattern of this diagram evokes an aerial view of a landscape or an abstract geometrical painting.
