With an hour to spare at university, a random search through the library was my chosen activity. I often like to pick up a random book in a library or second hand shops and search through them, this often leads to nothing or just something that catches my interest for a second. But, today I stumbled across a book titled 'Interior/ Exterior'. This published work by artist Marja Pirila, I hadn't heard of her before but her work caught my attention straight away. From the first image I saw I could tell she used camera obscura, and couldn't wait to see more. She was using a room as a pinhole, which is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. I had only ever heard of it being done, and this was the first time I had seen photographs, it excited me straight away. After a bit of internet research I found out she was a Finnish artist who like myself had a keen interest in camera obscura and used this aspect in most of her work. I think she could be come a great inspiration. Ths image shown is one that stood out the me straight away, I like how to outside consumes the inside, even the person in the room., they truly become one.
