The Mirror
The space projected video sculpture installation  1998
The space projected interactive video
installation

Two infrared video images of yourself  float in space about 1 m front 
of the holographic Lens (HOE - Holographic Optical Element).

You see your NOW projected by red Helium-Neon Laser,
 and your PAST by green Argon Laser at the different position in space.
Your movements trigger sounds and live video image is processed by 
computer in real-time.

By posing and moving yourself in front of  'The Mirror ',
you see your NOW creats your PAST, which is distorted, shifted, lost, 
or fades away every instance.
At the same moment,  you hear the sound of both NOW and PAST
are interfering each other.
 
   If you do not move at all, not so many things happen on ' The Mirror '

                              ... just like life itself.... 



  I used to look into my mother's mirror when I was a child.
  I remember that I was so frolicsome playing alone in front of the mirror.
  And now, l don't remember what I saw through that small mirror.
