Gebhard Sengmüller’s A Parallel Image is an electronic (analogue) camera obscura. The real time shadow-image of any spectator standing in front of the sculpture aperture is rendered through a series of light bulbs making up a screen, situated on the sculpture’s rear end.
This installation differs from the classical mirror-image art works, as the spectator is disconnected/not able to visually perceive from his/her reflection, and always will be.
