All you need is some good sun and a tiny hole the size of a pin in order to draw an exact image of the world on the opposite wall, inverted but intact: a singular landscape well-lit, the colors, the shadows, the clouds, the ripples on the water, the flight of birds, all seen under a nicely brilliant sun. Read a longer excerpt from Suzanne Doppelt’s mesmeric Lazy Suzy, on art, photography and the problems of ‘borrowed light’ at Asymptote. The images are by Suzanne Doppelt. The translation from French is by Cole Swensen. PC
