Consisting of traditional 35mm slides, arranged like a filmic sequence, this photographic slide installation is usually shown as a looped projection in a gallery. Here seen in a theatre, it appears closely related to Wavelength (1967), Snow’s landmark exploration of a room with a photograph on a wall.
