The exhibition Projection investigates an exciting art topic that has emerged since the 1960s: taking precinematic projection art such as the magic lantern and scientific and educational slide shows as its point of departure, an independent, experimental, and conceptual medium has developed. By means of projections and slide projections, photographs and videos the exhibition provides a bold historical survey through to the present day. Basic parameters such as space, light, mechanics, media and projectors are examined. In addition the exhibition explores the significance of projection as a metaphor for imagination.
