Your position surrounded and your surroundings positioned, 1999

Two HMI lamps are placed off-centre. They emit light through one small section of their cylindrical cases, which is precisely cut to follow the architecture of the space. These cases thus project a band of vertical light that changes in height to follow exactly the varying wall heights and curves and corners of the ceiling, tracing the outline of this space with light.
