Circle and Square
1981

A black and white schematic drawing by Taka Iimura titled "Circle and Square (1981)" depicting an art installation. The installation includes two projectors casting images on opposite walls, one projecting a circle and the other a square. A loop of black film connects the two projections, intersecting at a central point where a silhouette of a person stands, suggesting interaction with the projected images. Text labels such as "projection" and "black loop film" indicate the components of the installation.
