'in the dark' is a life size camera obscura by tom carey and sean
chilvers.
the two blackened out an entire bedroom, leaving just a small
hole open -
a pinhole camera within a room. keeping the hole covered, they lined the room with
photographic paper and then opened the hole,
exposing the paper for three minutes.
images of the street outside
were projected onto the walls of the room in this time.
they then sealed and developed the paper in the dark room and hung it back up
in its original place. the result is a wallpaper of the exterior environment on the interior.
the title and the process of the work responds directly
to the title, 'in the dark'.
