CELESTE - Bill Culbert (1970)

A translucent cube containing a bulb within a pin hole peppered black box. A camera obscura inside out, the form of the light-giving lamp is projected on to the cube in dozens of images from gently shifting perspectives: each image, like that produced by the pin hole camera which it approximates, beautifully and softly diffused by the action of light passing through the tiny holes.
