Yes, the Shower was shown a few years ago at the Pompidou Center.
Projecting on mist was Anthony McCall; Stan Vanderbeek projected on
steam. In both cases the audience was invited to look through the
tunnel of light towards the projector.
Every summer in Marseille until a few years ago, XHX (Gilles
Royannais) would project experimental films in the calanques (little
coves), hanging a screen just over the sea surface and projecting
from the beach, choosing films that work well when reflected, or that
feature water.
Coloribus (Christophe Goulard) projects 35mm and 16mm and glass tubs
of water and chemicals from overhead projectors, but he has only done
a few performances over the last couple of years.
I can authorize you to cite from FrameWorks as long as you give the
date, time, author, and web reference, but the individual authors own
their own postings.
