Video-installation
The camera records a red light bulb and transmits the image to a television screen. The image appears next to the real light bulb, so that both are simultaneously recorded and transmitted. This process is continued until six generations of recorded light bulb images appear side by side. Due to the slightly blue light of the TV-set, the light bulb images turn a deeper shade of blue each time they are transmitted.
