Pinhole Streak Camera Building

Constructing cameras that capture continuous time on a single frame — a moving slit exposes film strip-by-strip over minutes or hours. The geometry of the slit width, film transport rate, and subject motion creates time-smeared abstractions of everyday events. Related to sundials capturing time's passage, barographs inscribing pressure, and precision alignment from watch and camera work.
