Abelardo Morell's well-known series
of camera obscuras as well as images of objects include recent
camera obscuras of Cuba. Based on an optical principle known
for centuries, Morell blacks out the windows in a room, leaving
a small aperture which, in effect, transforms the space into
a camera and overlays the world outside on the inside. Like
the camera obscura work, Morell's pictures of objects share
the curious feeling of being both odd and familiar. The mechanized
working of a clock as well as laboratory test tubes become the
spires and buildings of a futuristic metropolis. They are at
once simple and intricate and full of details transforming the
ordinary into the extraordinary that Morell's lens seems always
to capture.
