BUTTERFLY OF LOVE
The optical effect created by a mirror transforms a few images of Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa into a dancing figure. Part butterfly part woman, the image forms and breaks up in a dance similar to the frantic beating of wings. In the background, a reflected image of two men motionlessly observes the woman, who becomes a chrysalis, transforms herself into a butterfly and implodes, disappearing without leaving a trace.
