One day I caught sight of the Caspar David Friedrich painting Woman at the Window, in the dead screen of a CRT television in my studio. After that I took a series of TVs outside and using their screens as reflective surfaces, tried to capture other Friedrich paintings. I photographed the captured images. Then later fed each television set (now plugged in and turned on) with the jpeg photograph of its own screen showing the reflected image.
