Boston-based and world-renowned photographer Abelardo Morell has been using the camera obscura since the early 1990s, creating a body of work defined by the contemporary use of a technology that predates the camera.

By creating a dark room with no light entering other than through a small pinhole, Morell brings the world outside into the room, projected upside down on the opposite wall.

This exhibition highlights Morell’s tent-camera and camera obscura photographs of sites in Italy in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the Center for Italian Culture at Fitchburg State University.
