Literature
A. Morell, Camera in a room PB, Smithsonian, Washington, 1995
The technique used by Cuban photographer Abelardo Morell is both ancient and contemporary, simple and complex. He transforms, in fact, a completely darkened room into a huge camera by using a pinhole located on a window as a lens. Through this the external image is projected onto the opposite wall where the sensitive paper captures it.Contact
