The document is a transcript of a lecture on the evolution of pinhole photography, delivered by Sergey Shabohin at the Open Eye Gallery in May 2024. The lecture covers key stages in the development of pinhole techniques, from early 19th-century experiments to contemporary projects, including unique works by artists such as Michael Wesely and Barbara Ess. Special attention is given to the project “Journey to Eden” by Siarhei Yazlavetski and Aleh Razhkou, where pinhole photography captures the emotional journey of a gay couple seeking safety and identity in London. The lecture was part of a broader discussion on migration, identity, and emotional resilience in the context of political and social conflict.
