Camera Obscura (signiert / signed)

Faszination der Lochkamera

How would we perceive the environment if we had eight eyes like spiders, facet eyes like insects, or slit pupils like cats? Knuchel, for example, varies the well-known principle of the "pinhole camera", which many people associate with childhood and youth memories, as a multi-eyed, rolling or 360° panoramic camera whose images are unique representations and alienations of reality. The photos are the result of different shooting concepts, but also independent artistic works.
