Extase

_____

The visitor enter a room plunged into darkness. Two holes have been bored on each side of the box. It is penetrated through the first opening by a video-camera. In the second, a video projector (VP) is placed over the aperture. The camera films the hotspot of the VP. The image is then promptly shown by the VP.

The visitor in the darkened space of the installation finds himself confronted by an abstract image. He becomes a cog in the installation. His place lies between two machines. They try to spark an ecstatic process through optical and sound effects. But is the installation actually trying to cause this or instead to question his place in the process ?
