Another idea of a pinhole room:

I have recently visited a photography exhibition at the Victoria & Albert
museum in London and there were a couple of large paper negatives on the
wall which a German artitst, Edgar Lissel shot in the museum.
A demo of his practice revealed the following:
He built a pinhole room (a kind of portable tent structure) around museum
display cases. The photopaper was fixed to the back of the glass case and
the pinhole was in the tent wall facing the glass case inside.
The resulting pictures (negatives) showed the outline of the sculptures in
the glass case as white shapes (like a photogram) on a background of the
upside down scenery of the gallery space.

Regards,
Brigitte.

Hmmm...  What more can I add to what has been said.  If the goal is to
make a print, make sure you go to Larry Fratkin's Pinhole calculator on
the Web and get his calculator to work out all the parameters you need
in terms of optimal pinhole size, etc...  Have fun.
Guy
P.S.  If you do a search on Google under the name of Vera Lutter, you
will see that she has done some quite interesting room-sized pinhole
work!
