Looking In, Looking Out Day 6
Brockway Room
1800 Suitcase Cinema
An image and light beam installation
The Suitcase Cinema invites Looking In, Looking Out audiences to interrupt the projected light emanating from two 16mm projectors. The projectors will face each other. The projectors’ beams will meet on a thin material, which will partition the room into two areas. One area will contain an image. The other will be simply white light. Members of the public are invited to step across the beams’ path, and observe others on the opposing part of the partition simultaneously forming part of the ‘other’ image, using their silhouette.
Main Hall
