Ange Leccia, Sea, 1991, HD video, 4min

Gabor Osz Stavern B. (Norway) , 2001 Cibachrome Photograph camera obscura
Gabor Osz The practice is strongly determined by the technique he employs: the pinhole camera, or camera obscura. The pinhole camera allows for pictures without a camera, and not through the negative since it is the paper that is directly exposed. This photo is part of the series The Liquid horizon, the artist made from the blockhouse of the Atlantic Wall. Gabor Osz used the bunker as the camera obscura: leaving the photo paper for at least 4 hours indoors, he obtained a photograph of the landscape visible through the loopholes. In contrast to a snapshot is the image of a period, since the only elements that can be seen are those who have neither changed nor moved. In some ways, it is the opposite approach from that of the Impressionists, who sought precisely to seize the moment.
