slices of the manifold
The interactive video installation ‘slices of the manifold’ reveals how versatile our perception of space can be. The mystical depiction of thin white trees in a dark environment constantly changes, while the viewer moves in front of the video screen. To create this visual experience,
a multitude of photos were taken of a birch forest at night. In each picture, the trees were lit from a different angle, while the position of the camera was left unchanged. Depending on the viewer’s position, which is measured with a webcam, different images and thus perspectives of the forest become visible.
