I'm still not really understanding how this image was created - specifically, I'm confused about how some objects, like the desk, chair, and clock, are still upright, while the city landscape outside is flipped upside down. Why isn't everything flipped upside down?
"Morell began his camera obscura series in 1991. Transforming entire rooms into cameras by covering the windows and inserting a small hole, he photographed the outside world as projected onto various interiors. He started by making black-and-white pictures in his own home before traveling in search of other sites for his uncanny, disorienting images."
