| The ceiling, walls and a floor are painted white. This installation is made with three different kinds of wood frames (one rib, two rib and with no rib frames): . This installation is made by three types of wooden frames .(one rib, two ribs and having no rib). The shoji paper covers both sides of the frames. And the paper is sanded for making extremely subtle translucent. Another material that adds subtle translucent on the paper is varnish that is daubed up its surface. Another material - varnish is used for adding more translucence. Also, some parts of the paper are ripped out so that some holes are made. These varnish stains and the holes, add new imaginary layers to the existing two paper layers. 4 timers and 4 infrared sensors are set. Each timer and each infrared sensor is connected with one electric bulb. The timers have different settings and they make the bulbs turn on for 10-15 sec. and turn off for 30-49 sec. When the viewers/participants walk through the point, the infrared sensors make bulbs turn on for 3-5 sec. and then they turn off automatically. Each infrared sensor is connected with bulbs that cannot be seen directly from the point of the sensor. When viewers/participants walk through the installation they see their shadows and a very subtle color information behind the walls. They cannot control it. Sometimes they can get some kind of information about other viewers/participants from behind the walls, and sometimes they are seen from the back of the walls. |
