プリニウスが『博物誌』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へと生まれ変わった。本作では、映像をトレースして描いたイメージ(原画)をアクリルに転写し、光を当てることで、再び影として投影した。時間、絵画、影、痕跡の間にイメージが浮かぶ。
In Pliny’s Natural History, in the story of the “origin of painting,” the silhouette of the lover’s shadow traced by the daughter was later transformed into a relief by her father, Butades. In this work, images drawn by tracing moving footage—that is, the original drawings—are transferred onto acrylic plates and illuminated, projecting them once again as shadows. An image emerges between time, painting, shadow, and trace.
