Testing the limits of technical feasibility against the facts of science, direct individual experience and imagination, the light/shadow installations present visual paradoxes that subvert a fundamental law of human perception. The moving images created by the shadows detach themselves from the causal relationship between the real object and its shadow image.

In one of the projections the shadow of a palm tree bending in the wind appears to be rising from the paint box on the floor of the exhibition space, creating an absurd illusion, while in another miniature installation the shadow of an eraser, viewed from an imaginary perspective, becomes a monumental tower with a flag on top.
