I'm interested in the way we are tricked into thinking there is something there, when the person is really just a projection against the tiles. Though the projection has no solid presence of its own, the atmosphere created, is still a very convincing one.. probably convincingly creepy, at that..!


Another projection into a shower stall. If it wasn't for the excessively luminous lighting, I would have fallen into thinking it was a real person behind the 'curtain' at first glance.


The positioning of the video means you probably shouldn't be afraid to go near it, considering you are the one looming over it. And yet there's still something creepy about this design, which would make me, personally, feel a bit reluctant to advance upon.. It's probably the lack of space, too, making you feel like you have no choice but to go towards that screen. I think a projection that is face-on, would be most comfortable, as opposed to one that makes you strain your neck up or down.


This ghostly projection effect was instantly eye-catching. It seems the colours green and blue, give the impression of the supernatural, despite it also commonly representative of the Earth's sky and seas.


The way projection has been used on this building, makes it seem like something out of this world, with its surreal glow..

What I find most intriguing about Chiharu Shirota's pieces with the wool, is the way it seems to give out this feeling of menace..perhaps anger? With the piano, it's as if the music which it used to be able to play, has turned into this haywire echo of blackness..With the beds, the arrangement gives an atmosphere that is unsettled, and stressed, like a nightmare that has become physical, reaching out with its strands. Eventually, in some pieces, almost the entire scene is filled and suffocated with the wool. I really like how something simple can create such a dramatic image, the way it captures a sense of emission from the objects..and how this 'emission' suggests movement linked to something that is immobile.
