Still from Ghost in the Machine’s animation.

The animation is generated by a series of image frames moving in between a system of lenses, two mirror planes and a light source. The work is based on Émile Reynaud’s Théâtre Optique and selected image frames from Walter Booth’s film The Magical Press (1907).
