I decided on this form of installation based on the distinct similarities of my own studio within iscp and the photograph of Dibbets‘ work Perspective Correction from an author publication. In this case the viewer is not standing in front of an image, but in a specific way becomes part of the projected and dematerialized picture which appears on the ground glass of the camera. I was thrilled by the idea of reconstructing the process of creation of an art work, which I was able to execute in a minimal form using several of my personal items (camera, tripod, book, string).
