Steven Pippin
Steven Pippin was born in Redhill, England in 1960. Between 1982 and 1987 he trained at Brighton Polytechnic and Chelsea School of Art.
Steven Pippin's work between 1982 and 1991 consisted of photos taken, not with conventional cameras, but with 'pin-hole' cameras made by converting bits of furniture and other objects, even whole rooms. He has, for example, turned an ordinary bath tub into a camera with which he photographed his own naked body. Since 1991 he has also made sculptural machines, which have interconnected moving parts that spin, flip or rotate, like a gyroscope, around a stable central point, which houses an image or object.
