Lighthouse
2006 Kodak carousel slide projector, 81 slides, timer, stand Ed. 4 + AP
Lighthouse is a slide-installation that takes a Kodak Carousel slide projector, as it’s formal starting point. The 81 slides depicts a projected white image, which step by step turns in perspective and away, out of focus, then turns back towards the viewer again; as if it was moving through the surface of the wall which it is in fact projected onto. The white image is making a circular movement, as if we were following the movement of one single slide through the cartridge of the Carousel projector. The work can be seen as an independent ‘companion piece’ to the earlier work ‘Exploded View’. While that piece gave form to an inner journey through the projector, form to an inner journey through the projector, form to an inner journey through the projector opening up an unknown landscape of lenses, wires and other technical parts; ‘Lighthouse’ focuses on the projected surface and thereby virtually opens up the exhibition room itself. The rotating image tells a never ending, looping story about time and space.
