Christian Pfaff's exhibition: Camera Obscura 2005/1-Inf

Camera Obscura 2005/1-Inf
Camera Obscura 2005/1-Inf is a worldwide – let's say network art project – in which you auction one shot of a twin-holed Camera Obscura by ebay. The highest bidders in each case receive one after the camera which is loaded with a piece of unexposed sheet of b/w film. The first bidder takes one picture and then mails it to the person who auctioned the other pinhole of the camera who will do the same. Because of the minimal distance between the two holes the two photos overlap partly, so that a joint picture emerges, created by two people in different parts of the world. In the course of time a sort of photographic global puzzle will emerge - one continuous series of parallel exposures. All participants will receive by post an actual sized print of the partially superimposed photo which they made. At a later date the cameras will be displayed together with the parallel exposures in a permanent exhibition in the Galerie Merid in Stuttgart. They will also be published on the website http://www.galerie-merid.com Below you'll see my collaborative work with the canadian artist Kathy Kinakin from Vancouver, Canada.
