Slow Photography – Analog and Accessible

The Camera Obscura is one of the oldest forms of photography. It works entirely without electricity, lenses, or electronics – just light, time, and a tiny hole. Inspired by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and his early experiments with light (heliography), you’ll create your own long-exposure image that captures the passage of time.

This method – also known as solargraphy – is perfect for long-term outdoor or indoor exposures. Depending on light and duration, each photo becomes a unique visual document.

For Creative Learning and Shared Experiences

This 3-pack is perfect for those who want to explore analog photography together – whether as a family, in a school project, or among friends. No prior knowledge or chemistry needed. Just place the camera, let it expose, send it in – and receive your digital image in the worldwide The 7th Day archive.

The Framed Camera Obscura is a wall-mounted pinhole camera that can be easily attached to the wall or placed on a table.

One Image per Year – Time Made Visible

Inspired by the pinhole camera technique from The 7th Day project, this special Camera Obscura has been successfully used in a medical practice in Stuttgart for many years. Installed in a fixed location, it continuously captures the surrounding space. Once a year – every January – the exposed negative is removed and sent to us. We scan and develop the image and print the resulting positive. This print is then placed on the wall next to the camera, alongside previous years’ images – creating a unique photographic timeline of the space over time.

Who Is the Framed Camera Obscura For?

This special form of Camera Obscura is designed for anyone interested in long-term processes, analog photography, and visual observation of spaces – all without digital technology. It’s especially suitable for:

• Medical practices, offices, and workspaces that want to capture subtle change over time
• Artists and creatives who experiment with light, time, and space
• Private households, especially living rooms, dining areas, or quiet corners
• Educational settings, helping students understand analog photography and long exposure
• Design and architecture enthusiasts who want to document spatial changes over the years

This camera does not capture people – no portraits or snapshots. Instead, it records furniture, objects, and traces of light, revealing how a space is used and how it subtly transforms. Over the course of a year, it creates a photographic chronicle.

Pinhole Camera Participation Set – Start your analog art journey

With the Pinhole Camera Participation Set, you receive everything you need to take part in the international art project The 7th Day.
At the center of the project is a simple, analog camera obscura, also known as a pinhole camera. It works entirely without electricity, lenses, or electronics – using only a small hole and the natural effect of light. The concept is based on the earliest forms of photography and follows the experiments of Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, who created the world’s first photographic image using heliography.

The included pinhole camera comes preloaded with light-sensitive photo paper. You can place it immediately at a location of your choice – indoors or outdoors, for a few days, several weeks, or even months. The camera is ideal for long exposure photography, also known as solargraphy. Depending on exposure time and lighting conditions, each image develops into a unique visual trace of sunlight and passing time.

The set also includes detailed instructions, a pre-addressed return envelope, and a password for accessing the digital archive. After you return the exposed negative, it will be scanned, processed, and added to the online archive. This makes your photo part of a global, growing collection with over 12,000 participants so far.
