Moment of evaporation
A slide projecter, 80 moisturized slide frames / 2008

We hardly have an occasion to contemplate something. In over flooded visual informations which are both recordable and editable, even the concept of time became quite vague.

In this work, I project drops of water which is spread on frames through a slide projector and let them just evaporate. If we call the images which are taken with camera "representation" of reality, I would say that the image projected here is a seamless "presentation" of what actually is happening inside of the projector.

The water completely evaporates in average of 3 hours, no one however would see the whole passage. When we encounter an occasion to contemplate continuous natural phenomenon such as evaporation, we could only feel the expanse of this phenomenon in our imagination.
