” In terms of image-repertoire, the Photograph (the one I intend) represents that very subtle moment when, to tell the truth, I am n either subject or object but a subject who feels he is becoming an object: I then experience a micro-version of death (of parenthesis) : I am truly becoming a specter. ” – Roland Barthes Camera Lucida
(Specter: a ghostly apparition, a ghost itself, or simply an idea that people find frightening. You can give yourself nightmares if you listen to too many stories about ghostly specters appearing in dark windows.)
This is my first attempt at making a camera obscura in my room, and considering what it means to become a specter.
