Pepper's
Ghost, by Torontonian Stephen Broomer,
transforms an office formerly used for
observation studies into a tunnel of performative,
transfixing illusionism, creating
surprising images using filters, fabric and a
combination of sunlight and fluorescents.
Recalling Slidelength (1969-71), Michael
Snow's slideshow of plastic gels and hand
gestures, Pepper's Ghost is a prolonged
expression of demystified mystification,
whose startling results are bolstered by a
bold soundtrack.
