The exhibition is a part of British Days in Poland

Notes :

[ Negative perspective is an individual exhibition by Steven Pippin. The young British artist changes objects of common use (a bath, washing machine, toilet, lorry, wardrobe) and even entire rooms (house, gallery space) into a camera obscura - a kind of photographic dark room, a light-proof box with a little hole - and the reversed picture of the photographed object is put onto the back screen of the camera obscura. By putting light-sensitive paper there and treating it chemical the picture can be fixed. Pippin's aim is not accurate representation. He is rather aiming to create an opportunity for recording pictures relying only on the basic rules and processes intrinsic to the photographic phenomenon.
