Camera Obscura Theater
| Location: Makers Market |
A 10’x10’ camera obscura that will be an interactive theater. Attendees will view the surrounding environment from inside the camera obscura. As the image will be reversed left to right and top to bottom, sculptural elements will be placed outside to enhance the illusion and provide props for entertainment.
