Li Sansi is a director who has loved movies and filming since he was a child, and he was immensely curious about why that small device could capture the light and shadows of the world.
After browsing through numerous materials, he was deeply attracted by a certain optical instrument.
The darkroom, also known as the dark box, is the equipment on a camera that holds photosensitive plates. Its structure is tightly sealed and completely light-proof, allowing images to be projected onto a screen.
The earliest cameras were essentially sealed boxes with a small hole. The outside scenery would pass through the hole, forming an inverted and reversed image on the completely dark inner wall of the box.
When Li Sansi was just a child, he foolishly pondered whether each of us might be a darkroom. Our two eyeballs are like the small holes on a sealed box, through which we record the illusory images of the world, seeing the inverted and reversed truth.
