Ombroscope is a low‑tech optical installation where light, movement, and modest materials generate shifting shadow‑worlds. The projection changes with every variation of angle and distance, turning the setup into a sculptural form of early cinema. Like a film strip without fixed images, it invites the viewer to read and reinterpret the drifting silhouettes. Subtle mechanical motion and air currents create a fluid interplay of blur and clarity, where microcosmic details expand into macrocosmic landscapes. Ombroscope marks an early moment in my research, where small handmade elements begin to unfold into expansive visual systems.
