A projector replaces the exhibition lighting, casting a "blank light source" instead of an image and directing it onto a self-operating light switch mounted on the wall. A motorized mechanism repeatedly presses the switch, causing it to alternate between illumination from the exhibition lights and the projected light, shifting continuously between its physical and image-based states.
By allowing the switch to determine its own state of existence through the interplay of light sources, the work disrupts the traditional hierarchy of image production, shifting control from the photographer to the subject, which determines whether to appear as a physical object or an image.
