TREATMENT WITH MEMORIES

1. Place a bed with sheets, a blanket and pillow at a distance of 180 cm from the wall of the "Palace of Projects" (the wall is of transparent plastic).

2. Place a night stand next to it with a carafe for water, place a small rug on the floor and hide everything with a white "medical" screen.

3. Prepare a slide program from a selection of family photographs made into black-and-white slides (24-25 in all).

4. Accompany each of them with "memories": who is on the photograph, what is he doing now, point out some funny detail. Record this commentary with a tape recorder.

5. Combine the slide program and the reading voice into a unified whole. The interval between the slides should be 3 seconds; each slide "stays" on the screen for 10-12 seconds.

6. Project the program on the same place on the wall made of transparent plastic* with two projectors: the first one projects onto the wall an empty white spot, the second one projects the slide program. The projection of the black-and-white slides on the bright spot will soften the sharpness of the slides and will create the effect that the faces and events are drifting from the "shining depths of the past."

* Understandably, since this is a project in the "Palace," the projection will take place from the external side of the wall.
