I was at the opera again with my pinhole camera.
The whole theatre play in one picture!
Liked the stage and the outcome 😃

ONLY SIX DAYS LEFT!

In 2012/2013 I slept in 44 rooms with my pinhole camera. This work you can see as an installation at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin right now!

Recently, at the Helmut Newton Foundation!
I slept in the museum to take another photo with a pinhole camera - in front of my pinhole pictures which I took at the ‚Hotel Bogota‘.

FIN DE PARTIE

Is there a perfect photo of a theatre production when everyone wants to see something different?
Yes - if the exposure time is exactly as long as the performance.
Then everything is contained in the picture. Whether you can see it is another question.

‚DIE MORGENPOST’today 😃

Thank you so much!

You asked for it ;-)
Here are my pinhole long exposures from Theaters, operas and sleep.
The entire opera in one picture!

The time of an opera or sleep determines the exposure time.
Right now one of my series ‚Hotel Bogota‘ is on display at the Helmut Newton Foundation, Berlin.

Vor 27 Jahren wurde in Bielefeld meine erste Ausstellung mit Langzeitbelichtungen im Theater eröffnet.
Sie wurde von meinem sehr geschätzten Professor Gottfried Jäger eröffnet.
Gottfried hat mich immer bestärkt zu experimentieren und andere Wege zu gehen. Mach ich :-)
Vielen Dank lieber Gottfried!
