Hmm, well let's see. i originally began with the idea of places where people go to reclaim the past. for example, diners. i go to diners all the time, and a friend of mine started talking to me about the idea of authentic space. like, in the 50's diners were kind of this ideal for the future. all stream lined and chrome and neon. now diners are this ideal of the past. this space where people feel like they are part of something authentic. we also talked about how yuppie artist types get apartments in more urban areas, and nouveau bourgoise people buy industrial type buildings and turn them into living spaces so they can feel more conntected to the working class that they've left behind. this is all architectural theory that she had been reading.
it got me very interested. so i've been shooting authentic space. i started off just doing diners and thrift stores, but i've now started relying more on my instincts, shooting whatever feels like authentic space, rather than defining it by these specific criteria. so there you have it. more sociological than truth in pinhole relations of time and space. cheers, steve > [Original Message] > From: ethereal art <ethereal...@mindspring.com> > To: <pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> > Date: 10/27/2002 6:27:58 PM > Subject: [pinhole-discussion] authentic space > > > From: "Steve Bell" <veracity...@earthlink.net> > >so after almost a year on this list, i finally made a pinhole camera. > >it was absolutely necessary for this project i am doing (authentic space) > > So Steve, define your term "authentic space".
