Through the wild and wooded region of Montefeltro, it is common to see many sighting outposts and towers, strong structures inhabiting the hilly landscape.
Three inclined poles, that look like a tripod, a mirror, one wooden disk with an hole and a wooden ring compose the very simple structure of the ‘camera obscura’. The waterproof upholstery of aluminium helps keeping thermal and lighting insulation inside the ‘camera’ and its reflections make it a shining and magical object during the day.
In the moonlight the silver skin becomes bright and sparkling, perfect scenario for jugglers and performers.
