Body Movies by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, presented in Hong Kong in November 2006.Thousands of photo portraits taken on the streets of the cities where the project is exhibited are shown using robotically controlled projectors.However, the portraits only appear inside the projected shadows of local passers-by, whose silhouettes measure between 2 to 25 metres high, depending on how far people were from the powerful light sources placed on the floor of the square.A custom-made computer vision tracking system triggers new portraits as old ones are revealed.Higher resolution version available at http://www.lozano-hemmer.com
