Camera Obscura
Captured without a signal
Captured without a single sound
Captured without a movement
Suddenly then turns into now
How can I move to the left when I move to the right?
How can I move to the left when I move to the right?
Camera
Camera obscura
Camera goes on, camera goes off
Camera goes on, camera goes off
For the generation lost
Images resurrect what
Passage of time will not allow
Negatives representing
A world in reverse and upside down
How can I move to the left when I move to the right?
How can I move to the left when I move to the right?
Camera
Camera obscura
Camera goes on, camera goes off
Camera goes on, camera goes off
For the generation lost
Pictures live on
After each life is gone
Pictures live on
After each life is gone
Camera obscura
Camera obscura
(
Spoken section: Generation loss is the cumulative deterioration of signal quality introduced as a consequence of limitations of the recording electronics and storage medium, when successive copies of an original image are made, each from the preceding copy. Examples of signal deterioration attributable to generation loss are increased distortion, increased noise, change in frequency response, and change in the relative phase of one color component with respect to another. Generation loss may manifest itself in the loss of fine detail, color distortion, or in severe cases, irrecoverable loss of major areas of the image. In audio recording, generation loss may manifest itself as audible distortion or loss of frequency response.)
