Paul Chan’s 2005 artwork “1st Light,” shown here at the Whitney Museum of American Art, is one of the works featured in the exhibition “The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality and the Moving Image,” opening at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in February. This installation consists of a video projection on the floor showing moving figures in silhouettes and blurred shadows. During the artwork’s 14-minute running time, colors shift according to the time of day, debris floats into space, humans fall through the air, and birds disappear and reappear on a light pole.
