In California, six photographers transformed an aircraft hangar into a giant camera obscura, using a large piece of fabric as the negative.

The process revealed unexpected textural effects and aberrations due to the emulsion's hand coating. The hangar was later demolished, marking it as the world's largest disposable camera.
