He is known for his ‘inventions’ and experiments, challenging perceptions of the mundane by adapting everyday objects to create sculptures and machines, including cameras. Inspired by developing photographs in the bathtub with his father as a child, he began to experiment with making pinhole cameras out of unusual objects, beginning with the bathtub in his flat. This soon extended to a fridge, a wardrobe, and the toilet of a train on the London to Brighton line, using the cistern for developing. In the late 1990s Pippin turned a row of washing machines in a laundrette into cameras, modifying the glass front of the machines to create lenses and shutter devices, whilst pouring developing chemicals into the powder drawers. Pippin triggered the shutters of his ‘cameras’ by walking across tripwires, creating a study of movement through the sequence of the resulting pictures.   \r\n\r\nFor this series, Non Event, Pippin placed a camera in front of a mirror in complete darkness. He then simultaneously shot a camera with a handgun whilst triggering the flash, to capture the moment of the ‘death’ of the camera, recorded by the camera itself. Pippin has spoken of his interest in the processes of photography, and how process can determine the end result. For this series, Pippin presents the camera as an artist, capable of producing work that it creates but cannot control. This is print one of a diptych.","physicalDescription":"Colour photograph of the front view of a Mamiya 330 camera, recording the exact moment of the camera getting shot by a handgun hold by a hand from the right side. The bullet shot through the camera is visible on the other side of the camera, captured pulsating in the air. The camera on a stand in front of a dark background is surrounded by smoke and heat that emanated from it getting shot.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Pippin, Steven","id":"AUTH348733"},"association":{"text":"photographer","id":"x43821"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Photographic paper","id":"AAT14190"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"","categories":[{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2019MA5025"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"TST","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Photographs","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2010","earliest":"2010-01-01","latest":"2010-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"E.3288-2018","id":"O1446907"},"association":"Series"},{"object":{"text":"E.3286-2018","id":"O1441794"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"E.3287-2018","id":"O1441789"},"association":"Series"}],"creditLine":"Purchase funded by the Photographs Acquisition Group ","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Width","value":"73","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Frame","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"63","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Frame","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Photograph by Steven Pippin, 'Mamiya 330', 2010, print one of a diptych (front view of camera).
