“The Canon 814 camera was anchored by two thin ropes each two meters long. The handle’s metal supports, aligned along the top, along the optical axis, ended up equidistant from the camera’s center of gravity. I made the camera rotate counterclockwise. Soon it reached a sufficient speed to sustain itself in orbit. The lens pointed towards the tangent. The first surprise I encountered after developing the film was the strobe effect perceptible in several sections: when the camera approaches the ground, the direction of movements seems to reverse. Also unexpected was the appearance of drops of rain on the lens that remains stationary while the landscape continues to pass by, or the ray of light that penetrates through the reflex viewfinder crossing the dark areas. Here there are no immobile still frames. Editing consisted of eliminating the footage during which the camera reached its required velocity.” - Claudio Caldini
