Press Release
We are pleased to present Bus
Obscura, by Simon Lee, at The Armory Show 2005. This is a unique
opportunity to visit a site-specific event outside of the Armory piers.
A passenger bus is converted to a multiple aperture camera obscura. As
the bus moves down the street, the projected images flow into one another
creating a 360-degree visual panorama. Passengers sit in the seats as
usual but, instead of looking out on the scene as it passes by, they see
a real-time projection of the same scene inverted on the interior obscured
windows of the bus. The bus is the camera, the projector and the theatre.
" Lee’s vehicle captures the fugitive nature of images and
their fleeting impressions on the psyche. Poetry and physics in motion,"
(Weinberg, Miami New Times, December 2004)
