​

*All photographic negatives and photograms on display were "shot" on 40x30cm expired medical x-ray film. The DIY pinhole camera was constructed to take that particular size of film and, after the exhibition, was donated to the Regional History Museum of Plovdiv by its author - Boris Kovachev. Boris also donated to the Museum a one-off printed photographic book, which depicts the building process itself (as documented again by him - the creator of the camera). All images from the camera build can be viewed through the link at the top of this page.
