A Body of Water
A Body of Water is an installation occupying three locations: firstly a chroma-key room at the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, secondly the coal miners'changing room, or Waschkaue, at the disused Ewald/Schlägel und Eisen coalary in Herten, and thirdly the shower room at the Ewald/Schlägel und Eisen Waschkaue in Herten. The audiences in Herten and Duisburg are connected in the following way: a video camera in Duisburg cap tures images of the audience standing in front of a chroma-key blue backdrop—this image is sent to Herten via an ISDN video conferencing link.The image is received in Herten and chroma-keyed together with a camera image of the audience standing in the Waschkaue changing room.The chro ma-key mixed image is then video projected onto a fine wall of water, s prayed from high pressure show er heads in the Waschkaue shower room. A camera situated next to the projector captures an image of the projected image and feeds it to three monitors in the changing room space in the Waschkaue, and back via the ISDN video conferencing link to three video monitors surrounding the chroma-key space in Duisburg.
