A Misplaced Wall

2008

interactive video installation

'A misplaced wall' is an environmental video installation, using a wall of the kunsthuis. Its nature is that of a monument, which needs to be held at a distance and therefore cannot be touched. The installation juxtaposes the withdrawn position of the observer to the participatory nature of physical reality. An image of the wall is re-projected onto its surface. As soon as a visitor's presence is detected, this image is subtly set in motion thus making the observation of the object impossible. The experience is enhanced by a thrilling sound produced through 'breaking' of the image into singular tiles.
