Peppers Ghost (2013) dir. Stephen Broomer
Pepper s Ghost, by Torontonian Stephen Broomer, transforms an office formerly used for observation studies into a tunnel of performative, transfixing illusionism, creating surprising images using filters, fabric and a combination of sunlight and fluorescents. Recalling Slidelength (196971), Michael Snow s slideshow of plastic gels and hand gestures, Pepper s Ghost is a prolonged expression of demystified mystification, whose startling results are bolstered by a bold soundtrack.
