The artist projects her film on the side of the building, and solid matter becomes liquid, begins to move. In the projection, Barbara’s grandfather is dowsing for water. He walks a few steps and his forked branch moves from an erect position to point down. He has located water. If there is any surprise about the image, it is that it is so very ordinary. If there is magic, it is in the transformation of materials by means of projected light and movement.
(From the essay by Joan Grounds in Flesh Winnow)
