In 2008 the Kunstverein Cuxhaven invited me to reconstruct a container into a Camera Obscura. The container camera was placed in front of the Kunstverein and was open for the public during the whole project. The container project opened on Saturday 25th of October until 9th of November. I was also asked to give workshops on how to built a portable pinhole camera and how to use it. A lot of schools attended the workshops and in the evening I teach adults how to handle a pinhole camera.
