In the centre of a darkened space the rectangular hologram is displayed supported by a thin wooden plinth, illuminated directly from above by a shuttered theatrical spotlight.
Light falls onto the holographic surface, which in turn casts a shadow onto the floor below. The installation is part of the 'peripheral view' group of works, which attempts to dislocate the viewer's initial connection with the holographic image.
From the initial approach to the work the image in the hologram is not visible, only the structural arrangement which supports the holographic space.
As the viewer changes their point of observation and moves within the vertical viewing zone of the hologram, a series of three planes, each with a rectangular space, becomes visible.
One of these virtual surfaces 'sits' directly on the picture place of the hologram's surface, one protrudes into the observer's space and the third recedes into the hologram's space.
