'LUXOR'   is a work for one space, made by synchronizing two carousels of eightyone ( 35 mil ) dia-positive slides (each). Its installation can incorporate one white, horizontalal scrim to lower the ceiling if required ( to 'contain' the projected image within spaces of variable dimension ), and one ultra-violet lamp ( bulb rather than tube ) which allows the space to be seen as well as the image, the latter being mandatory.   (When used, the scrim is dramatised --phospher in the material-- by the ultra-violet illumination.)

One carousel of slides shows two feet, the left foot striding forward -- colored deep red against a black ( invisible ) ground. The second carousel depicts the same subject, also deep red in a black field, but with the right foot striding forward. A phasing unit drives two projectors, alternating between them, cross-fading between left foot forward, right foot forward, left foot forward, etc., etc.. Thus the image is made to march into the space, 'advancing' from the wall onto which it is projected.

The projectors and phasing unit are mounted in a cabinet ( made for the purpose ) fully visible, and audible, within the space. However, as the slides dropping into their respective projectors normally allow the viewer to anticipate a change in the image --countering the illusion of a continuous 'striding' forward-- a recorded sound track of one projector advancing at twice the speed of the actual transfer, overrides the switch, simultaneously creating a 2:4 rhythm for the advance of the work, which continously 'loops' ( as the carousels are full ).
