À propos du livre
The Camera Obscura is the ancestor of the photographic camera, meaning "dark chamber" in Latin, consisting of a small darkened room with light admitted through a tiny hole. The result is an inverted image of the outside scene cast on the opposite wall.
Camera Obscura takes on a new meaning in the post-pandemic world, "dark chambers" of isolation; at times, mandated by government or self-isolation. Images seep into our Obscura through light portals of our outside world. Is the Obscura a gulag or welcome respite? Society adapts to work using a digital screen, eliminating direct human contact. As social beings, are we now less human?
Some adapt by ingesting the digital exhaust of media through our modern devices living in a virtual world for most of their day. For some, isolation is a curse, and others a chance to reflect and meditate.
