 A double theater
is built with auditoriums consisting of several rows of
seats on both sides of a big screen (3 x 4 m) framed in
red velvet. The screen serves as a surface for two
simultaneous video projections from the opposite sides.
Image from projector A shows the slow movement of the
Full Moon across the black background. In front of that
side of the screen a sphere/globe is suspended. The image
from projector B shows the moving clouds on the night
sky. These two images are shown on the screen as one -
the Moon on the slightly cloudy night. As the Moon moves
across the dark background toward the center of the
screen the globe in front of it becomes the obstacle to
the projection.

The Moon
slowly disappears in the shadow of the globe (its image
now being projected on the sphere surface of the globe),
but the next moment it starts reappearing on the other
side.
A
visitor can choose from which auditorium he/she wants to
observe the eclipse. Side A shows the process, side B the
effect, including the shadow image of the same viewer
within the picture composition.
