Composite photograph consisting of two vertically stacked frames documenting a staged installation in an interior gallery-like space. The setup combines large fabric surfaces, projected moving imagery, and mannequin figures arranged with props.

In both frames, the backdrop is dominated by an expansive black drape extending across a raised platform area and cascading onto the floor. The drape provides a textured surface for projection. A video projection is cast onto the central section of the fabric, showing imagery of natural foliage, trees, and forest light filtered through branches. The projection is irregular, following the folds and creases of the cloth, producing distortion and layered depth.

To the right, two mannequins or sculptural figures are positioned upright, interacting with a vertical wooden pole. The mannequins are wrapped in cloth material, their forms simplified but humanoid. Attached to the pole are lengths of fabric, one plain and another with applied circular motifs resembling stitched or imprinted organic textures. These suspended fabrics create the impression of garments or banners on display.

The first frame shows the installation under more intense red lighting, saturating the space and contrasting strongly with the cooler tones of the projected forest imagery. In the second frame, the projection is clearer, with more visible detail of trees and foliage across the black fabric, while the mannequins and suspended cloth remain in the same positions. The interplay of colored ambient lighting and projection creates a hybrid visual field that fuses digital imagery with sculptural arrangement.

The installation combines elements of stagecraft, video art, and sculptural display. It highlights contrasts between synthetic red illumination, organic forest imagery, and the tactile physicality of cloth and mannequin structures. The work operates across layered dimensions of projection, performance environment, and material installation.

Composite sequence of four frames documenting a live projection-based performance in a dimly lit interior environment. The central figure, consistently positioned in each frame, stands at a light-colored podium with drawing or projection equipment. The subject’s silhouette is visible from behind, wearing dark clothing, while operating controls and interacting with illuminated surfaces.

A large projection surface dominates the background. Onto this surface, dynamic imagery consisting of blue-toned abstract or natural patterns is cast. The projected visuals feature branching, vein-like, or organic textures, glowing brightly against the darker ambient environment. The imagery shifts slightly across the sequence, indicating movement or transformation as part of a live projection cycle.

The surrounding space is lit with red ambient illumination, which contrasts with the cooler tones of the projection. Overhead lamps, columns, and additional structural elements are partially visible, situating the performance within an interior studio or gallery context. On the podium, a digital screen glows, providing the performer with additional control or reference material during the process.

The sequential arrangement of the four frames emphasizes the temporal progression of the live act, showing continuity of performer posture while highlighting shifting projection content. The composition underscores the integration of human presence, technical apparatus, and evolving visual output within a performance setting that merges analog and digital practices.

Composite image composed of three sequential frames documenting a projection-based installation. The central element across all frames is a large projection surface made of draped fabric, hung in folds across the width of the installation. Onto this textured fabric, moving imagery is projected, its distortions shaped by the surface creases. The projection shifts across the three frames, with variations in pattern and content: the first frame displays a figure-like form, the second shows fragments and transitional imagery, and the third resolves into a simpler striped texture.

In front of the projection surface, a sculptural mannequin figure stands, dressed in draped cloth material in deep red tones. Its posture is upright and static, oriented toward the projection, suggesting an act of witnessing or participation within the staged environment. The red fabric worn by the figure harmonizes with the ambient red light permeating the space, contrasting strongly with the blue-green tones of the projection.

Above the installation, a directed spotlight casts a visible beam through the slightly hazy atmosphere, highlighting dust or mist particles in the air. This spotlight contributes to the theatrical staging, producing a vertical shaft of illumination that intersects with the projected imagery on the draped background. The interplay of spotlight, projection, and ambient red lighting creates a layered visual environment combining static sculptural presence with shifting digital visuals.
