The continued ... saga of an amateur photographer [videorecording] / conceived and operated by Steven John Pippin on the 12:32 pm London, Victoria to Brighton train. [England : Pippin],cc1993.

"A toilet bowl was converted into a camera on board a British rail train travelling from London to Brighton. A specially designed aluminium 'insert' fitted into the recess of the toilet bowl. This housed both lens and shutter device as well as a pneumatic seal which when inflated (by the use of a bicycle pump) holds the contraption firmly into place as well as sealing out unwanted light. The operator then removed his trousers in order to 'load the photographic paper, placing his arms down the legs in the manner of a changing bag. Once exposed the toilet was flushed (taking care to avoid flushing whilst at a station) and developer simultaneously injected into the toilet cistern pipe at the rear of the bowl. The operation was then repeated for the fixer after which the toilet was flushed washing the print of any resedue chemicals and finally retrieved. The whole process of photography seemed to align itself perfectly with the toilet. The initial qualities of the toilet bowl and lid gave a light tight unit with which to load the photo sensitive material. The water then accepted the addition of developer (at the correct ratio) which enabled the flushing and simultaneous development of the photographic image in the bowl below."--Excerpts from 'Steven Pippin - Discovering the secrets of monsieur Pippin'." = container
