A naturalist of the eighteenth century embraces a microcosmic study of flora and insect life through the lens of his looking glass, then enters a nearby camera obscura to observe the macrocosm through its larger optical equipment. He finds that he ends up observing more than he expected to.
This work was produced for a series of events at Bristol’s Camera Obscura coinciding with a total eclipse of the sun., where it was mounted as a circle of peepshow boxes lit by pressing buttons which illuminated the diorama within.
