HELENA HEILIG
In 2010 Helena started experimenting with the Camera Obscura to personally slow down and balance her working life. The technique is simple: Light from the surroundings enters a lightproof box through a tiny hole. During the long exposure of up to 150 seconds many unforseen things can happen. Therefore pictures taken with a Camera Obscura form a contrast to digital photography. A s an observer, you are regaining the freedom of interpretation. The magic effect is what excites Helena the most : hard contours blur, moving elements turn into vague lines and painting-like contrasts. Reality develops into a new shape.
Enjoy!
