No Present

A two-sided video screen suspended from above has two cameras pointed in opposite directions toward the viewer. The images from the two cameras are superimposed to create a single image that slowly dissolves from one view to the other, from a window to a mirror. The image is processed to average time so that the viewer only becomes aware of her presence when she stands still. If she moves the image is blurred, or disappears completely, like a long time exposure on a still camera.
