The simultaneous two-channel video projection is like an unfolded moving image in which pictorial constellations create special formal and associative variations, sometimes harmoniously rhyming and at other times interfering with each other. The installation exploits the ability of light and the projected image to transform space. Its semantic layers are organised around the interaction of the spatial and the pictorial, achieved through numerous medial transformations and perspectival distortions. The digitally generated visual experience is supplemented by an analogue interference: the shape of the projection surface creates shadows, which affect the images, demonstrating how images convey information but in the meantime are bound to block out other elements or leave them ‘in the shadow’. Instead of the traditional mono-perspective of projected moving images, the viewers of this projection perceive different visual fragments depending on their position, allowing them to map out the entire pictorial and spatial scene by shifting their perspective.
