The installation consists of two parts: a projector (showing 7 images, each lasting 5 seconds) and a series of postcards placed at the entrance where the luminosity is decreased. The postcards show a sequence that goes from 100% to 10% visibility. The original image is a pornographic photograph of a woman in front of an artificial scene with a sunset background. The star elements from the postcard are repeated in the projected slides.
Through a process of relating the abstract projected image to the postcards, viewers relocate the meaning of the star symbol, giving it a figurative interpretation. The process also alters the viewer’s perception of the negative space between the stars in the installation.
