HKS exhibition plan
In the darkened zone the mirror becomes a tinted window, part transparent and part mirroring. The visitors can covertly
observe visitors in the lit zone while watching the video. Periodically, the covert viewing is interrupted by the projection of a
close-up video image of the viewer onto the back wall. The projection is triggered by an infrared sensor, and occurs only for
a few seconds when someone is situated in front of the Control Console. The viewer is captured by a digital camera with
night-vision. This projection, reflects off the back wall onto the back of the mirror: Seeing one self magnified while secretly watching somebody else is both revealing and
questioning; who is watching who.
