Sténopé - The school grounds seen in positive and in negative

Neckel Scholtus & primary school Reuler
Jardin du Parc
rue du Parc
Clervaux

Pupils from Reuler's fifth year primary school are introduced to the camera obscura. The pinhole camera[1] is the precursor to all cameras and operates based on positive-negative contrast. The young amateur photographers equipped themselves with a box without a lens, pierced with only a small hole, and set about documenting their daily environment, namely the grounds of Reuler school, its infrastructures and green periphery. Another objective was to capture portraits of their classmates, their teacher even. The final images exposed on light sensitive paper were revealed in the mobile laboratory known as the "roulot'ographe".
