An exhibition space filled with artworks and visitors. There is a separate room with a seated audience. In front of them, there is a big empty frame hanging on the wall. The piece has two stages. It begins with an audio narration that tells about functions, conditions, purposes of the audience in certain places and situations. At the same time, there is a live-stream video in the frame of the visitors moving in the exhibition space outside of this room. During this time the audience (in the room) being recorded with the camera that is placed inside the frame. As follows, in the second stage, the audience is guided by the light of the projection behind their back to turn around. When they do so, they encounter a live size image of themselves, the video recording of them perceiving an artwork some moment ago. This shifted reflection in a time of the audience lasts for the same amount of time as the first stage.
