In 1992 I had the opportunity to realise my dream - to see how the image was created from inside the camera.
The city of Paris invited me to do a project about the city. So I transformed my studio into a "Camera Obscura" (CO) covering all the windows with black plastic, leaving a little hole in each window for the light to go through. The outside city view was reflected upside down over the walls and ceiling of the room. For 10 months I lived inside the "CO" while photographing from inside the camera the view which reflected from the pinhole together with objects and my own body which were on the paper inside the room. Being inside the camera gave me the possibility of creating a new reality which did not really exist. I combined two different techniques, Pinhole photography and Photogram and I called that new technique : "Sténogram" ("sténope" - little hole in Latin). In 1993 I continued with that technique in different places in the "Carnavalet" museum and different artists' studios.
