Campera Obscura: Meet the Artist is an artist’s talk by Helen Horgan that will take place at KinShip Activity Room, Sports Pavilion, Tramore Valley Park.
Helen Horgan is bringing a life size Camera Obscura to the City View Summit of Tramore Valley Park. Constructed from a converted camper van that has become the vehicle of Horgan’s art practice, participants are invited to enter and view the surrounding Cork city skyline from a novel perspective. By creating a dark space within the van and allowing light to enter through a small hole, the external world is projected on the inside walls upside-down. Using only the power of sunlight, the process is simple but magical to behold, instilling a sense of wonder and providing the viewer with an alternative understanding of the suns ‘power’.
Open to the public Friday 18th, Sat 19th and Sun 20th November 2022 – 12pm to 3pm Artist talk Sunday 20th November at 15:45
Not for those who are scared of the dark or small spaces! Participants will enter in twos and threes. This event is great for adults and kids alike.
Places Limited. Booking Required.
