The work visualizes its own installation process: At the spot where, during the exhibition, a projector is mounted to project the video into the room via a rotating mirror, a camera was installed during the installing process. This camera filmed the exhibition space through the rotating mirror, capturing tools, ladders, packaging materials, and the projector not yet installed. Both during the installing process and the exhibition, the mirror’s rotation is caused by air circulation in the room — a circulation influenced, not least, by the presence and movement of the visitors.
