I was interested in exploring the world by sending pinhole cameras through the mail, and having them record their small journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I built pinhole cameras and loaded them with photo paper. I took them to various post offices in the area, opened the shutter and then mailed them to myself. They would generally arrive back within 2 to 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the camera returned home, I developed the photo paper to reveal a record of the camera\u2019s journey. I then rewrapped the camera with brown paper, and then sent it out on another journey. The camera pictured below, was reused 9 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I conceived of this project before the pandemic, but as things progressed, the idea of sending something out to explore the world, became more relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
