In the (supposed; I personally think the entire thing is a hoax perpetrated by the artist and his investors) designs for the “telectroscope”, there is reportedly a beehive shaped collection of mirrors that is supposed to amplify the image so it can travel such a long distance and remain visible on the other end of the tunnel.
If this were a real device, such an amplifier (probably many of them over the length of the tunnel) would absolutely be needed. Although this amplifier is mentioned in passing, I couldn’t find a diagram or description of its inner workings. More evidence that this is a hoax.
It's a camera
In this art exhibit, yes.
