The world's first transparent pinhole X-ray camera is nearing completion
"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one." Bhagavad Gita
Using the Divine Proportion camera, Belger will photograph X-rays from inside a particle accelerator. The Divine Proportion camera is a lead glass encased pinhole camera, specifically designed to capture on film the scatter from the impact of a high intensity X-ray beam on sculptures representing creation and destruction. The sculptures will be selected based on iconic figures of creation and destruction from the region in which the particle accelerator is located.
