About event
Exhibition of gingerbread camera photos
(Note: Pinhole, Camera Obscura or Power Chamber is a simple photographic device without a lens capable only through the hole to capture the image on light -sensitive material such as 35mm photo paper.)
The smell of roasted candy announcing that the first gingerbread camera comes into the world. The way to create a Christmas tradition for pinholics led through a study of building plans of gingerbread cottages. The aim was to assemble the pinhole thematically clean and only using raw materials needed for baking and decorating just a gingerbread cottage - ie candy, candy, whipped egg whites, etc. Such a sweet house where cinemas are rewound using Candy Cane and a slice of chocolate. The candies did not only create decoration, but for example Marshmallow helped inside the Camera Obscury as a support for a cassette of a 35mm film. But the tradition has not been introduced, as I have baked only one gingerbread pinholi. But there is no point in despair, there are still many ways to enjoy Christmas time as a pinhol. Some images were complemented by small drawings or inscriptions underlining the playfulness of the whole project. The cycle was already on display at the exhibition as part of the Polish festival of the hole of the Offo IX 2017, which I have been a regular participant since.
