Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) posted an interesting piece on the camera obscura photography of New York’s Vera Lutter. A camera obscura is a darkened room where an external image is projected through a tiny hole with a convex lens, and inverted as an internal image in the dark room. Lutter uses this technique by placing unexposed photo paper in her camera obscura, capturing the images from the small opening.
LACMA invited Lutter to create a photography series inspecting the art, architecture, and culture of the museum, which she worked on from February 2017 to January 2019. Here is “Vera Lutter: The Museum in her Camera Obscura,” produced and directed by Agnes Staubor.
