Room Flips: 10 Pinhole Pictures Turn the World Upside Down
[ Filed under Photography or in the More category ]
Projected upside-down into derelict rooms of deserted homes, these images are more than mere art – they turns walls into screens and create entirely new inverted worlds within dead and abandoned spaces. No house, garden or tree is safe.

From abstract night scenarios to bright and vivid daylight images, each room is an experience at the intersection of the scene projected on the wall and the abandoned space in which these voyeuristic pictures were taken with a tiny pinhole camera.
