WORKS
Living picture, a moving picture. From the projector, the digital video is impressed on the canvas and changes the perception of the colors and the composition. The landscape in front of the spectator is animated by a swirling of digital images, pixel bundles and light of our time projected onto a secular tradition.
The videos on this web site are the video recordings of installations that are made using an oil painting, a digital video and a projector. To fully appreciate Living Picture it should be viewed live.
