Hi Jennifer
He Weeps for You - it's a while since i've seen it, but I'm pretty sure the water on screen is live video feed of water actually in the space.

> Wow your work is fantastic and inspirational, and the kind of work I am interested in looking at. I like the fact that people could choose to be projected on or not. The last installation I did I didn’t give anyone any choice all the projectors were in the centre of the room and I had used plastic mirrors to reflect the projections around the room so that wherever they went they were projected onto. I read Bradley Eros; “there will be projections in all directions...” and looking back I realise that I was inspired by the title but unaware of it when I was creating the installation! Thank you, Jen

However I am still keeping my options open since of the use of water in expanded cinema is so diverse I am not sure at this point how to link them to create a good dissertation. It may be that it all comes together like a jigsaw puzzle or I focus on the diversity, I’ll just have to wait and see where my research takes me! Thanks Jen

I had to jump through hoops with Health and Safety at Uni when I did my installation, in the end everyone had to be chaperoned as it was classed as unsuitable for public viewing!

> Thanks, I love Anthony McCall’s work, but I believe it is classified more as paracinema and I am looking more for water rather than mist or steam. However anything that is not directly related to my dissertation topic is still extremely relevant to my studio practice and I am being inspired by every artist mentioned.
