View through an open doorway from the next room, with the dark wooden door frame surrounding the picture, of a detailed fantasy minotaur character head sculpted from grey modeling clay. The head rests on a stack of old hardcover books with worn spines, and a piece of thin wire protrudes from its horn as a support structure, while a wooden dowel is inserted into the neck to hold the head upright. Fingerprints from the sculptor are clearly visible in the wet clay on the minotaur's cheek, showing the recent touch of the artist's hand. The 24mm wide-angle lens is positioned up close, creating strong perspective that stretches the nearest parts of the clay texture and the books, while the lines of the surroundings converge on the main figure. Light from a projector beam cuts through the air, with dust floating in it and the colours of the projected image falling across the grey clay and the dark books, creating a surreal, fragmented illumination. Shot on 35mm film with a shallow depth of field, the focus is sharp on the clay texture while the background dissolves into soft blur, and the grain is visible in the darker areas of the frame.
