The video image itself is divided into four windows. Corresponding to the four dimensions, the windows show an overhead, side and frontal view and a temporal window (represented by an image in motion). 'Perceptive faculty 2' represents an upward progression from one level of perception to the next. Simulated changes in the tape speed permit varying interpretations of a situation: The level of perception is altered when the speed is reduced, doubled or tripled. When the maximum speed is reached, the viewer enters a temporal level which opens up new spatial perceptions. In this state, the various windows detach from the background to form a new, independent space which has been liberated from customary dimensions. Similar to photographic effects in which over- or underexposure is employed to create new impressions of perception, the 'time scale' is manipulated in this work so that the world is portrayed in new 'temporal perspectives'.
