CAUSE AND EFFECT (2004)

Cause and Effect records viewers’ movements in silhouette as they simultaneously displace the recordings of previous viewers. When the movies re-play on sliding tiles, only the viewers' movements are shown, giving a sense of autonomy to actions that were actually determined through interaction with the prior recordings. "Cause and effect" is a common translation for the Buddhist term Karma, which dictates that all human experiences, however minute, are the result of their own prior actions.
