Abstract

The installation will be a reenactment of five seances held between 1910 and 1914 that took place in Paris with a young medium referred to as Eva C. Just as Eva wreaked havoc on perception of the sitters, in a playful way I as a modern 'cinematic medium' aim to reintroduce a sense of magic and the uncanny into the perception of contemporary technology. To conjure up characters from the past, I plan to create life size stereoscopic black and white video projections that appear in different places around a room. Infra-red sensors and software will enable these video phantoms to react to the presence and position of the viewers.
