プリニウスが博物誌のなかに記した「絵画の起源」において、娘がなぞった恋人の影のシルエットは、その後、父ブタデスによってレリーフに生まれ変わった。私は、映像をトレースして描いたイメージ(原画)に光を当て、再び影として投影した。時間、影、痕跡、インデックスのインデックスとしてのイメージが浮かぶ。
In Pliny's Natural History, the silhouette of the lover’s shadow(skia) traced by the daughter, which symbolized the "origin of painting," was later transformed into a relief by her father, Butades. Similarly, I traced and drew images from video footage, then illuminated them to project as shadow(skia) once again. Images emerge as layers of time, shadow(skia), trace, and as an index of an index.
