Imaginary Light (2000)

Imaginary Light

Table, extinguished candle, book, slide projection

60 x 75 x 83cm

A slide projection of the same objects is projected onto them. It replaces the light of the extinguished candle.  Two times co-exist.

 

The title could easily be used for the majority of my pieces and was the title of my first retrospective.
