Dimitrios P
Camera Obscura
Inside this romantic image lies a sad story.The small building in the center, is the only Camera Obscura wordwide with a 360 degree view. It's the first one built in Greece, and is located in Perdika. The specific camera obscura, is a cylindric house, with seven meters in diameter, and with twelve openings in all hemispherical directions. Through these twelve holes, light will enter the dark room, and thus produce an image of the 360° panorama of the outside world, split up in twelve individual images, upside down and reversed, on an circular, semi-transparent screen, hanging down from the ceiling.
This building was part of the Light & Image exibition which took place in May 2003. The bad news is that since then, it has never been maintained because of bureaucracy, lack of interest from officials and lack of money.
