Description
Marian Roth is a photographer and painter who moved to Provincetown in 1982. She is known for her camera obscura photography and unconventional methods of capturing pictures. In her camera obscura series taken at the dune shacks, Roth converted the dune shack into a pinhole camera. This method of photography strips the camera back to its most basic components and limits the artist’s control. It also illuminates the perspective of light from the shack itself, which relates to Roth’s idea of inhabiting the camera and image.
