1993

The artist copied the two-dimensional drawing of the forest onto the surface of a number of transparent cylinders. When the cylinders begin to revolve, the camera appears to pan to the right or left. (...) The virtual camera is also mobile. Whereas the three directions (x, y and z) normally correspond to straight vectors, the system of coordinates employs curved lines that loop back on themselves. This evokes a sense of limitless space: the viewer feels that there is no way out of the forest extends in every direction and a total loss of perspective. (Source: http://www.waliczky.com)
