Interaction between camera obscura image and the editimage from medium through the time



Interaction between the original image of camera obscura and the edit image which are drawn through the moving medium.  

I put mediums which are different size, speed and direction.

When the number of mediums is filled with the wall, I cannot notice the original image from the camera obscura.

Limestone false door of Ptahshepses

The ancient Egyptians believed that the false door is the gate between the world of the living and the dead

If this wall is the gate between the world of the living and the dead, I could see new world like illusion.

Mummy of Artemidorus in painted stucco case

This mummy case is distinguished from traditional Egyptian one.

When I saw this the first time, I thought that it could be one of Roman ruler. I was completely wrong.

A portrait panel has been inserted at the head of the case. Obviously, the owner of this coffin might be a Greek people. However, he looks like a Roman people. Moreover, the portrait panel is inserted at the Egyptian style case. I think these are really strange points owing to the fact that absolutely he might be a person in power. If he were not, he could not use this coffin. In the period, Egypt was under Romans rule. I cannot find the trace of owner's nationality without name of owner.

Why was this made like this style?

A mixture of cultural influences

'This mummy represents an excellent example of the merging of cultural influences: a Greek personal name, a Roman-style portrait, together with traditional Egyptian funerary practices.'
