Solar Cinema

Solar cinema is a project commissioned by Art Works in Wimbledon in which a marquee has been transformed into a walk-in camera obscura. Over five weekends, spanning each of the seasons, from November 2006 - July 2007 the giant camera was installed in different sites around Cannizaro Park in Wimbledon. Live, brightly coloured, moving images of the landscaped park are projected onto a screen inside the marquee through simply inserting a large lens into one end of the marquee, encouraging viewers to engage with the process and origins of photography.

A publication documenting the project will be launched in October 2007.
