Portable darkroom!!


From Nova darkroom website- a portable, travelling darkroom!!! like the fact it was you can set up a temporary darkroom anywhere..even a launderette..haha! and up to 3 people can get inside. could add an exterior layer to this (photos- stitching together relics of the experience within?)- make it more tent like. or the 'skin' becomes a projection surface? live feed? flickr/personal photos? like the idea that a tent wall has ears though..hmm...a private moment inadvertantly made public

this means if used a flash light to expose the image and premixed the chemicals..the darkroom could literally go anywhere inside or out - anywhere a participant felt maybe that was special to them for some reason....the mind boggles...on a beach, wood, could work with found material and photos..photowalk?

the only issue i suppose could be lack of projector without electricity- either battery operated or use photographic 'lanterns' where torch light inside casts shadow of photographic imagery on transparency paper?

anyway- whether i use this item or the idea of it -its great!!

Haha! That is hilarious - perfect for you. It has a real primitive feel to it. Like extreme camping but for art!
