Multiple Lenses

These unedited images show the results of my multiple lens tests. I have created a cardboard construction which works in the same way as my spiral construction will.  I have placed five lenses on the exterior wall and there is a large round screen on the interior wall.  I wanted to test what happened when you focussed multiple lenses onto one screen.  I was very pleased with the results that I got, I was able to see multiple images passing over each other and forming one large image of optical illusion.  The confusion was only added to when movement could be seen and people walked past the structure.  For my final piece I am to place about five lenses focussing onto each screen.  The screens will be of a similar size to my test version, which has a diameter of about 40 cm.  I have chosen to use circular screens as they link with all my pinhole work throughout the year, as I have a keen tendency to work with images in the round, but also with the shape of the pinholes themselves.

I intend to continue my work with me test model as I love the distorted images which they capture and I hope my final construction will be just as exciting.  One thing I do wish is that I could display my piece in an outside space, as my working practice has strong links to the natural environment, but maybe this si something for the future.
