A mirror hangs from the ceiling between a spotlight and a wall. Connected to a motor, it revolves slowly around its central axis. Its size is carefully calculated from the measurements of the space so that for a brief moment during every revolution, when the mirror is parallel with the wall, its shadow completely covers the wall and, at the same time, the opposite wall is covered in reflected light.
