Forever Disco



Spatial Installation
Co-Authored, 2009

During a Zeme research presentation on the 'Lightbox' project at the Institute of Communication Design, Massey University, a temporary installation piece was created.

Entitled 'Forever Disco' and constructed inside a glass elevator, recycled materials were used to create a moving Camera Obscura. As the lift transferred between floors, external imagery from surrounding hillside terrain became inverted through multiple simple apertures, captured on an internal back-projection screen.

Due to the continual flow of movement, visual details were animated and gave the appearance of a projected filmic array. Further Guerrilla Obscura interventions are planned!
