In a piece that I recently workshopped during a residency on Governors Island, titled "Elusivity," a device slowly unrolls a piece of luminescent fabric (glow-in-the-dark fabric). Using UV light, it "burns" onto the fabric a low resolution, blurry and pixelated portrait. The resulting glowing image is imperfect, yet it clearly reveals a person's face. As the audience views the rendered image, it slowly fades to black. Similar to how one might grasp at a distant memory, details of the portrait begin to disappear as the viewers try to resolve the features. The fabric is retracted and the rendering starts again.
