By studying their light we can understand the composition of stars that are light years away. The invention of the camera obscura was originally intended to stimulate philosophical reflection and speculation on the nature of perception and knowledge, the external world along with the eye and the brain [Jonathan Crary]. Thus we can perceive light not only in the subject of a real space but also virtually as the illusion of space.

By placing four layers of reflective transparent glass inside a black box and a mirror with a pinhole in the back, we get to see reflections of light that multiply infinitely in a closed system with a specific code depending on the inclination angles of the mirrors.

The camera obscura never fails to present several possibilities for shaping reality, neither by producing images nor by creating a surreal illusion or effect. Despite its use in image production, the camera obscura may also be used as a “Space Box”, reflecting an illusion of points and lights that takes the viewer inside the box and drives the mind to an outer-space.
