1981, 15′, colour

TV image and the shadow of my hand were reflected on the floor. The reflected images were recorded by a video camera. I did this hand performance by watching the images on the TV monitor. A closed circuit consisted of a video camera, a monitor and my body. The angle that was used to materialize this performance was from the position where the video camera was situated.
