While the table-top size of the miniature theatre is many times smaller than a real theatre it is also, in shape, similar to but several times larger than a box camera. One of the associations of Black Box is the chambre noire, the inside of a camera, the space between the lens and the eyepiece or film plane. The space where the light is inverted, captured. One image is separated and held through the strange optical, mechanical, chemical photographic process. The stage becomes camera, the images shown or played out like a record of photographs of the world outside the camera (or theatre).
