medium> London: three slide projections; Vancouver: installation with three video projections, three controllable DVD players, control device

Three projectors project changing red, blue and green photographic details, respectively, onto a single area of wall. The combination of the primary colours of light occasionally produces a very inexact approximation of white light, in which individual images only become partially legible by the absence of light in the dark details of the other two images. The projectors advance automatically at different speeds but can also be manually mixed by viewers into other combinations.
