The Pneuhaus studio has unveiled "Compound Camera 3," a unique inflatable installation comprising 221 camera lenses, at the MODE Festival. This expansive, inflatable structure resembling a giant snail or igloo covers more than 700 square feet and invites visitors to enter and experience a luminous, projection of the surrounding environment.
The installation invites visitors to walk around and examine the world through a "bug's-eye view" and at the same time, distort what Pneuhaus describes as a "bug's-eye view" of the sky and urban surroundings. The structure uses sunlight to illuminate everyday scenes, creating an immersive, analog experience without recording any information.
The multi-lensed work encourages visitors to slow down and examine details more closely, reflecting on recent conversations about surveillance. The installation is a part of Pneuhaus's large-scale architectural inflatables and premiered late last month at the MODE Festival, a celebration of global photography.
