Fortis imaginatio generat casum — Michel de Montaigne
Both, the room and the camera, can be understood grosso modo as dark spaces with holes (window and diaphragm) through which light comes in. Between the camera and the walls, between the lenses and the window, between the furniture and the room, between a rock and a hard place.
The door turns into the shutter, the magnifier the lense and the wall the frame support. The project is inspired by Michel de Montaigne description of his stay at his tower studio and the imagination it allows.
