1974 two mirrors,two video cameras and two video monitors with time delay,plywood,paint 76×96in.
The length of the mirrors and their distance from the cameras are such that each of the opposing mirrors reflects the opposite side (half) of the enclosing room (and also the reflection of an observer within the area who is viewing the monitor/mirror image) . The camera sees and tapes this mirror's view.
Each of the videotaped camera views is continuously displayed 5 seconds later,appearing on the monitor of the opposite area. Mirror A reflects the present surroundings and the delayed image projected on monitor A. Monitor A shows mirror B 5 seconds ago,the opposite side's view of area B. A spectator in area A(or area B),looking in the direction of the mirror,sees:
1. a continuous present-time reflection of his surrounding space;
2. himself as observer;
3. on the reflected monitor image,5 seconds in the past, his area as seen by the mirror of the opposite area. A spectator in area A,turned to face monitor A, will see both the reflection of area A as it appeared in mirror B 5 seconds earlier and,on a reduced scale, area A reflected in mirror B now.
