Crossing Perspectives is a two-channel video installation created in collaboration with Nicolle Bussien. Emerging from a series of experiments on perspectivism, the piece uses a simple shadow play to simultaneously multiply and flatten a 3D stage onto two 2D surfaces. Installed at Sattelkammer, the display windows at the corner of the art space are covered with two canvases that define the spatial configuration of the piece. These surfaces, both opaque and transparent, function as boundaries and interfaces, visually separating the interior from the exterior while maintaining their connection. The orthogonal orientation of the screens transforms the flat projections into a sculptural volume, offering two complementary perspectives.
The projected space is composed of a sequence of scenes where performers interact with modular elements and a set of lamps. By positioning the lights in relation to objects in the room, they create shifting reflections and shadows, producing multiple interpretations of the same scene. The movement of the lamps alters the audience’s perception, guiding their vision through specific viewpoints where the light source acts as a dynamic camera.
