Curtain

Curtain is an installation that explores the relationship between projection and physical space. It consists of a set of panel curtains rigged to motors that slide them along rails. An animation is projected onto the curtains. As the panels shift, new perspectives are revealed.

The installation was exhibited at Gray Area at the conclusion of the Fall 2017 Creative Code Immersive.
