Wave chamber ceiling

"Wave chamber" is an early manifestation of the Kielder Art and Architecture program. Situated on the end of the Belling peninsula, designed by Chris Drury and completed in 1996, Wave Chamber is a camera obscura, projecting an image of the water onto the floor of the chamber. Within the dark interior, the walls echo the wave sounds and the floor appears to become liquid. It didn't do anything for me on a dull windy morning, but the publicity does explain that the image is clearer on late afternoons and sunny days.

This photograph shows the ceiling with the aperture containing the image-forming prism.
