  • and yet it moves

A ring of mirrored glass rotates slowly, suspended centrally from the ceiling of a darkened gallery space. Placed on a tripod, a focused spotlight projects light onto the ring so that only the area of the ring is illuminated. The beam of light creates a shadow behind the rotating disc, as well as an arc of reflected white light that slowly scans the room.
