A video film of a bird in flight is projected on the inside of a box which measures 60 cm a side. The film appears in a virtual ball that is floating outside of the screen, in such a way that the ballet of birds in flight appears on the surface and on the inside of this ball, thus creating a sort of mirage, visible without total darkness being necessary.
‘La Camera di-refracta’ seeks poetic rather than technical performance; timelessness, rather than narration. It is a curiosity as well as an object of contemplation.
