Thin parallel layers of translucent cloth hang closely across the center of a large dark room. Two projectors at opposite ends of the space face each other and project images into the layers of material. The images are of a man and woman as they approach and move away from the camera, viewed in various nocturnal landscapes. They are recorded on separate opposing video channels, and are seen gradually moving from dark areas of shadow into areas of bright light. The cloth material diffuses the light and the images dissapate in intensity and focus as they penetrate further into the scrim layers, eventually intersecting each other as gossamer presences on the central veil. The cone of light emerging from the projectors, articulated in space by the layers of material, asserts its presence as a three-dimensional sculptural form. Viewers pass along the sides of the suspended veils on their way through the space.
