Emily Muir, Untitled (detail), 2001

These images are part of a self-portrait series of pinhole photographs shot using a house as a camera obscura. With this technique the house literally becomes the camera, capturing the world beyond its walls without the use of a traditional lens camera. Through the screen door there are softly moving trees, hanging laundry blowing in the wind, and a figure falling in and out of focus, pulsating, caught in mid-motion. The door becomes a gate to the familiar indoors, or a means of going out to encounter the constant flux of the world beyond it.
