Unfortunately, I am not in NYC to see this exhibition, but I am a big fan of his work. I would recommend him to anyone interested in light. Abelardo has been working on this particular camera obscura technique for some years now. He is really getting some fantastic images. The image he is recording, is an image of an image. That is, he is using a camera inside of a camera. . Basically, he is taking a photo with (small) camera inside of a camera that has but a pinhole to the outside world. As you can image, capturing low-level, refracted and reflected light requires long exposure times. The image from a pinhole is usually inverted, so he is incorporating either a mirror or lens to re-invert the image.
Here is the link to some of his works being exhibited. Unfortunately, it is one of those ridiculous flash sites, which despite being fancy, still looks 90's cheap. Click on EXHIBITIONS and there you will see Morell's work.
