Belgrade 2006
When I began researching the work of Nikola Tesla for this film project,
I had originally planned to visit the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade,
Serbia to do extensive research in the archives. I was searching for the
underlying principles that were informing Tesla’s experiments during
the last part of his life. I was shocked to discover the archive, which holds
more than 30,000 of his unpublished scientific documents, is inaccessible to
most researchers and kept under lock and key. My visit to the museum
then became a search for archival visual material from Tesla’s life.
These are photographs I took at the museum as part of research for Pictures of Infinity
