Artist Abelardo Morell ’71, known for his camera obscura photography, is among 16 artists commissioned to help celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. His creation, inspired by a scene in the 1958 Alfred Hitchock film Vertigo, Morell’s favorite, uses a window of Fort Port to make a camera obscura viewers can actually enter and produces ever-changing images of the bridge.
Morell’s Vertigo uses a window that looks out onto the same spot where actress Kim Novak throws herself into the bay in the film. Read New York Times coverage.
