In September of 2006 I experimented with an idea to photograph the entire realm of vision from a single point in space, which resulted in The Captive Universe Project. I use a 35mm film camera and tripod. Hand cut stencils are traced onto 26 separate photos, and the 26 shapes are cut using a blade and ruler. The photos are taken from an average head height distance off the ground. The result is a hand-cut map, providing directions to a specific point of view.

This body of work is really rad.
Could you explain a little bit about how you determine what 26 pictures to take - how do you pick what angle to tilt the camera to, etc?
I'd love to see the ones that are just flat made into balls too!
Very cool and inspiring.
