Printmaking
Abelardo Morell is a Cuban-born photographer best known for large-format camera obscura images that transform domestic interiors and architectural spaces into inverted, dreamlike compositions. Working primarily in black and white, he constructs elaborate setups using a modified camera obscura technique, projecting exterior light through a small aperture onto interior walls to create ethereal, spatially disorienting photographs. His practice sits at the intersection of analog photography, architectural intervention, and perceptual inquiry, examining how light and optics reshape our experience of familiar environments.
