Back in June at ASpace Gallery  (one of the galleries at 401 Richmond West), there was an exhibit that was also part of an MFA in DocMedia thesis.  Part of the exhibit consisted of photographs made with a pinhole camera.  These cameras were mounted on various parts of an old oak tree. The exhibit can also be viewed as a look at the relationship between the photographer,  Lisa Murzin, and an old oak tree.  If trees could communicate, what would they say?  What do they see and how do they view the world?

 

Whatever you think of the premise of the project, the images from the pinhole camera are intriguing.

    They are intriguing. As is most lens-less camera images. A ghostly view and an enigmatic result.
