PLATO’S CAVERN, screen-reliant installation art
This video installation consists of a character projected onto a large-scale drawing where its movements are directly related to the evolving
layers of lines being drawn. An 3D effect builds as the drawing undergoes gradual change in thickness and density related to the newly constructed superimposed layers of video. This video installation explores the notion of time and space in continual change, where one confronts the fear of one’s own disappearance.

Year of creation: 2000
Technique: video projector, drawing.
Dimensions:
Drawing: 8.98 (w) x 7.70 (h) feet
Space mininum: 20 (L) x 11 (w) x 10 (h) feet
