The installation consists of two screens positioned at a distance from each other. The first screen, set up in a corner, broadcasts a video of that same corner—an exact replica of the space. Shadows of digital figures traverse the image, yet the visitors themselves cast no shadows: the screen captures a space that exists independently of their presence.

The second screen displays a 3D reconstruction of the hall, including the same corner and the first screen. In this space, the figures themselves—the sources of the shadows—become visible. They move through the digital model, and their silhouettes are projected onto the image of the first screen.

Two screens create a system of mutual detection: one captures a trace (a shadow), and the other is the source. The source is accessible only through technological mediation; the digital figures are not visible directly but manifest only through the screen.

The work invites us to consider architecture as a space where different forms of presence coexist. The physical environment is supplemented by a computational layer inhabited by digital objects that share the same space with us but exist in a different mode of visibility. The viewer is positioned between the two screens, assembling the unfolding events as a distributed narrative by moving between various points of view.
