Outside-Inside Upside-Down is an installation transforming one room of the Gladstone into a camera obscura. literally translated as “darkened room,” a camera obscura is an optical device pre-dating modern photography. Similar to a camera, the projected image inside the room is upside-down, creating a challenging perspective of the view outside. The installation further addresses the theme of landscape and place, through the design of an urban planter located on the exterior roof. OUTSIDE Studio is a collaborative practice started by Cleo Buster and Rene Fan. The studio’s work brings together landscape architecture, architecture, and history to create site-specific progressive design.
Coming this April 2013 to the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Outside-Inside Upside-Down, an installation that creates a different view of our immediate environment and challenges our ordinary perception of one's surroundings and our place in them.
