Doppelganger is an installation utilizing video projections of inverted shadows of peoples' bodies. These bodies of moving light populate the digital facade at the Hyde Park Art Center. Various people were filmed and recorded as they contemplated and murmured what (pre)occupies their minds, caught in thought. They were then pieced together to form a slide show collage of interweaving bodies, a choreography of light and motion. Viewed from both the interior and exterior of the facade, Doppelganger's outside silent bodies of light mingled above the sidewalk with all passing pedestrians and street traffic. Two motion sensors were placed inside a catwalk structure that triggered individual video clips of a person in the sound and motion of thought.
