Johann KEPLER (1571-1630)

CONSTRAINT : to draw Upper Austria in 1620 non tanquam
Pictor sed tanquam Mathematicus : ϕ without fixing
the image (except by immediate manual stencilling) +
camera obscura + 360° panorama (by rotation).

WORKS : “Pictographic” reproduction by the
photographer of his own unfixed ϕ of Austria’s mountain relief.
