In a conventional motion picture we have a series of images that move past a stationary light source, but in another work of Hans Polterauer that is featured here, we have somewhat of a reversal of that situation where we have an object that remains fixed while the light source is in motion. Under the illumination of an LED lamp, wire spirals cast beautifully poetic shadows onto the walls of the installation space. The subsequent movements of the light source change the shape of the shadows, breathing life into them. An exploration of the interrelationship of motion, spatial sculpture and filmic identity that adds the extra 4th dimension of time.
