Sequence 1006 (Enschede/NL, 2007)

steel/glass/projection

This interactive installation consists of ten panes of glass, a mirror, an infra-red camera and a projector. The camera is directed to the viewers. The recorded picture is projected and multiplied by the panes of glass. The resulting perspective reduction of the picture shows the viewers, depending on their location, a room that appears to continue beyond the construction.

The picture recorded by the camera is coarse-grained, the colours are reduced to black and white. By this estrangement the picture seems removed from the spectator: ghostly, phantom like, non-physical. The green glimmer of the panes of glass intensifies the effect. The installation invites the spectators to play with their lucid shape in this new created dimension.
