About the piece

The Obscure Man is a 19th-century photograph of a man standing in a skyscraper office. The man is mid-stride and his outstretched arms stretch out to either side of the skyscraper. The photo is taken with a camera obscura, a photographic device that creates a semi-transparent image through the use of a small hole. What makes this photograph unusual is the fact that it contains one million frames that were combined to produce a single image.
