If all time is eternally present | Installation, 2010

A group of people are waiting to see themselves enter the room they are currently in. The work is exhibited underground in a large, dark and cavernous cellar. The floor of the room in the cellar in which this piece is being presented is being filmed from above. Everything that happens on the floor gets recorded and this information gets sent to a computer which delays the video for a few minutes before sending it to a projector. The projector projects the video onto the floor via a mirror. The camera on the ceiling then records everything that happens on the floor including the projected image of what had happened on the floor a few minutes earlier. The cycle continues throughout the exhibition. The layers increase and each loop of time compresses itself upon one another. People end up walking on the heads and merging into the footprints of those who were previously present within the room.
