The Vermont Studio Center is pleased to present The Parallax View of Pearl Street from the Red Mill Gallery by Gibson + Recoder. Open by appointment only on October 1 - November 4, 2020.

Gibson + Recoder will turn The Red Mill Gallery into a room-sized camera obscura allowing viewers to look out onto Pearl Street, an ongoing project influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Notebooks.”

Gibson + Recoder state, [this] “installation reproduces a lesser known experiment that Leonardo sketched in which two apertures perforate the space, thus multiplying the same view along a horizontal axis with a slight overlap in “parallax” fashion. It is not clear what the double projection was designed to illustrate in light of the analogical model undergoing investigation, namely: “The function of the eye as explained by the camera obscura.””
