PROJEKTIONEN

(rraum, Frankfurt, D)
An event with five super-8 film projectors, one square shaped fluorescent screen and a hemispherical acrylic bowl filled with milk. Film loops were either plain white or night blue. Different reactions were elicited from the lighted materials; the milk, for example seemed to change colour into brown. The illusion was produced by one white frame burning inside a projector. The projectors were wired with contact microphones, and their sound amplified.
