Displacements is an immersive film installation. Performers were filmed in the space using a camera rotating turntable in the room’s center. After filming, the camera was replaced with a film loop projector and the entire contents of the room were spray-painted white. The reason was to make a projection screen the right shape for projecting everything back onto itself. The result was that everything appears 3D, except for the people, who appear ghostlike.
