A line drawing of the gallery's interior is deconstructed piece by piece and the constituent parts sequenced and projected onto a screen in the darkened gallery space.
This 2D representation of the interior space that exists behind the projection screen is perceived via a process of conscious retention of the drawings' elements as they are presented and re-presented over time.
This process is simultaneously complemented by the physical phenomena of the afterimage as each of the brightly projected lines of the drawing remain momentarily on the light sensitive retina. Ghosts of the on-screen schematic representation of the gallery are layered and rebuilt fleetingly onto the interior surface of the eye.
The drawing is never presented in its complete form, but as a series of abstracted lines. Perception of the represented space exists only in the conscious and physical memory of the viewer.

"Duration reveals Extension" is a single screen DVD Back Projection from a Sanyo Pro Xtrax architectural data projector.
