Urban landscape 1985 - 1991

Discovering the cylindrical form gave me the possibility to show the reality I saw through different eyes. By deforming and bending the vertical or horizontal lines I received a new kind of reality which did not really exist. 

I bought 30 metal cans of the same size and adapted them into cameras. I changed my car for a van and installed a darkroom in it and started to photograph outdoors only. My subjects were mainly architectural objects & monuments. The problem was that you can't see what the pinhole "sees" and how the subject looks inside the camera. Through the years, while gaining more and more experience, I learned to "see" what the pinhole can "see" too.
