That sustainability in architecture is not about the planets well being but about finding ways to sustain the capitalist system.

Will you share a few photos of what the spreads looks like, seems really fascinating but no inside looks on the website.

I’m reading the poem over the beautiful musical piece Afro Mingei by Theaster Gates and The Black Monks: Yaw Agyeman. Mikel Patrick Avery, Michael Drayton. Recorded at @whitecube.com‬ London May 24, 2019

The camera installation took up the entire space [4x5 ft, approx], I would open the door, pull the camera onto the sidewalk and then invite people into it, using it as a theater, education and performance space, and as a physical camera.

See more photos and the MERT camera via the link in the bio.

The poems deals with the difficulties of not being able to sense my own future, and therefore not knowing what is the best thing for me in the present; this is something many Autists deal with, and are often shamed over; how can you not know what you want?!

A rendering, hand sketch, and digital collage, showing the concept of the camera, how art works, and performance would be experienced by the audience, moving screens around, to construct their own experience.

A photo of me inside the informal darkroom. It is very rudimentary, no running water, no temperature control. Here, I developed unique silver gelatin's capturing the ephemeral qualities of the space. See previous post or the link in bio to see these 📸 @panthealee.bsky.social

Photo of a lens mount. One lens is mounted in a sheet of wood, attached to the wall, the other on a smaller piece hinged so the audience can add it and thus change the focal length of the projection they are seeing, allowing the audience control over their experience.

The wall as seen from the audience side (top) and the performer side (bottom).

The construction is a simple wood frame built on site, concealed in blackout material. The lenses are the only penetration made to the wall, which enables the projections into the audience space. Top image, a 3D diagram show the design of the wall, below a photo of the build wall on site.

Given the camera has multiple lenses, the projected images overlap and show different aspects of the space. Here I’m standing in the center holding up two screens capturing different projects, and screens around my capture even other projects.

A diagrammatic plan. The space is split into, the dark side is where the audience will see the projects, while the lit side is where performers would act and mix with the projections from the exterior.

First Slide:
A diagram showing how the images from the outside, as seen through the window frames in the space, gets projected into the camera space, and is visible upside down.

camera obscura, but with the addition of multiple lenses, mirrors and additional lenses, amongst other things, gives the audience the ability to alter the projections.

Constructing multi lenses camera obscrura’s have become an important part of my work.
