Recorded Thread and Shadow

A thread hangs in front of a video projector’s lens, being moved unpredictably by the projector’s fan. The thread is being recorded by a video camera and projected on the wall together with the thread’s own shadow. A second video camera records the combined image of the projection and the shadow, and a second projector enlarges it as a ceiling projection. The sound of the space recorded by both cameras plays back in real time through the projectors’ loudspeakers, interacting to create a feedback rhythm.
