Childhood is the first experienced state of an adult body, to which we instinctively remain connected throughout our lives. The installation uses people’s shadows as a gateway to this former corporeal and mental state.
Interaction takes place on the projection screen, where both time levels are visually linked for a moment. A connection between the child and the space that limits her existence is ambiguous. She is not alone in the darkness: somebody moves in the background behind her, controlling her and her route towards the viewer.
