The portraits realized with the camera obscura were the first inspiration for the new project In-Camera-Out, launched by Antonio Becchi and Montserrat de Pablo in 2016. The idea is to bring to life some pictures, transforming the camera obscura into a camera clara where lights, static and dynamic images, in-out of talking heads, and narrative elements come together to produce Moving Portraits.

The long-term aim of the In-Camera-Out project is to create a large portrait gallery and a collection of Moving Portraits of MPIWG members and visiting scholars.
