38. The New Gallery Ying, Nyc.
Like the Manhattan's new Moma, this particular design is connected to a previous one, my Gallery Ying that was actually constructed last year.
People usually notice only the outside of cameras, and usually expect sleek, elegant features for new products. Very few will notice the elegance of some camera interiors, as well as moments of architecture In these unseen spaces. These moments vary significantly in quality from camera to camera. From my own modified vintage camera collection, I find that some of the most beautiful interior work is found in the Polaroid Swinger Model 20. If you own one of these, open it up and enjoy some subtle architectural moments.
Inspired by the experience of this, I've tried to design a New Wing to my previous gallery inside a camera. This New Wing will allow the gallery to exhibit a total of up to 29 photographs in addition to two possible lighted projections.
One of the main themes in architecture: to represent an outdoor space as an interior, and an interior space to suggest the outdoors is readily apparent inside this camera. Inside the quasi-bellows of this camera I can imagine a staircase in Venice extending down to the water on a moonlit night. In essence, that triggered in my mind the thought to fabricate a typical analog camera filmwinder to create additional space to exhibit the inside of this gallery. In the notes above there are barn doors which swing open to create a strong support for the structure but also allow play with the light in the exhibition space. 29 photographs would probably justify an increase in ticket prices.
If you haven't viewed my Gallery Ying, please please see the photo below or go to my link below. There is more text with explanations there about this project.
