Abelardo Morell travels the world and converts full-size rooms ( some spare, some ornately rococco) into immense camera obscura devices. He brings the outside in through a tiny pin-hole, and by the alchemy of optics, the outside is projected quite naturally upside down superimposing and hugging the surfaces of everything in the room. He then photographs the resulting 'installation' with his 8x10 view camera and enlarges the prints to mural size.
