Bobby Jesus with Bullet Proof Vest for Dancing the Round Dance Continuously
2013

A person is standing in front of a projected image of a ghost dance shirt, aligning their body with the projection to create the illusion that they are wearing the shirt. The individual is reaching up to the projected image's shoulder area with a pencil in hand, as if interacting with the projection. The bottom of the projection screen has the text "Ghost dance shirt."
