Compound Camera

"Compound Camera" is a 20-foot inflatable dome composed of 109 hexagonal pinhole cameras, each projecting a live, inverted image of the surrounding environment onto the translucent interior. The effect is likened to standing inside the eye of a fly—a tessellated, fragmented panorama stitched together from slightly different viewpoints. Visitors can push against the soft fabric walls to adjust focal range and distort the images, engaging directly with the mechanics of vision. Fully analog and without digital equipment, the work offers a tactile experience of light, optics, and perception.
