SUMMARY:"20 Years Later: The Great Picture" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Twenty years ago\, six photographers known as The Legacy Project created The Great Picture\, the world’s largest photograph. Measuring 31 by 111 feet\, it was made using the world’s largest camera — a converted airplane hangar transformed into a massive pinhole camera. Taken on July 12\, 2006\, the image presents a panoramic view of the decommissioned El Toro Marine Corps Air Station\, which closed in 1999 and is now the Great Park. 20 Years Later: The Great Picture explores the process and documentation behind this monumental feat and reflects on The Legacy Project’s lasting impact on the history of photography. \nThe Legacy Project consists of artists and photographers Jerry Burchfield\, Mark Chamberlain\, Jacques Garnier\, Rob Johnson\, Douglas McCulloh\, and Clayton Spada.
