I was today at exhbition opening at local gallery where ther was paper negatives done in very crazy size - biggest is about 3×4 meters (118 ” x 157″).

I had a chat with the artist and he is exposing these negatives as pinholes / camera obscura - way. He said some exposures are two days long.

Just crazy.

I put some more photos & writings on my blog at http://blog.vedostuu.fi/

 
How does he manage to do 3x4 metres, does he place paper of that size into a pinhole camera?

Thanks

Yes.

edit: well actually not one paper but two "strips" of paper.

Image turning the paper negatives over in the development trays.
 
Most likely sponged on chemicals.
 
I'd like to see the 3x4 metre pinhole camera as well An answer before midnight tonight is necessary. April 2nd is no good

There was a guy in Europe who turned a truck into a camera obscura. By this you are with longitudinal projection already at 2.45x2.35m at least, at rectangular projection at an even wider format.

Using a warehouse with a pinhole in a window yields larger formats.
