Infra-Image (N24°56'42.85", E121°18'3.29") explores how image reproduction conditions the perception of time. A “blank light source” is projected onto a stripped section of the exhibition wall, revealing traces of past construction and repair. These remnants, once concealed, now emerge as a projected image— transforming the architectural surface into both a material structure and a visual recollection of its own past.

Suspended between matter and image, the wall blurs the boundary between presence and re-presence. The work prompts viewers to question whether they are encountering a tangible surface or a spectral trace of the past. In doing so, it revisits Roland Barthes’ assertion in Camera Lucida that images are inseparable from the past.
