Self-Portrait as Sine Wave

Raw photograph

Setup: A single vertical projected line of light moves left<>right in a sine wave against a wall. I try to match the motion & speed with my body. The movement occurs over 1 sec and my camera is set to take a 1 sec exposure. All three of us strive for perfect harmony

The impossibility of total synchronicity acts a generator; generative patterned ghost architectures emerge out of the collision between frequencies
