The work takes different forms of matter into a playful treatment. What can we create with bottled air? Will the glow of the coals create heat, and will the heart-shaped cloud eventually form from smoke, steam, haze, or magic? No smoke with out fire? The work started when I was looking for material for my master's thesis in social sciences. My master’s thesis is about virtual performer. While researching the history of the virtual performer, I found the book Scénegraphie nouvelle published by Jaques Polier in 1964. In the book the illusion itself and the construction of it are presented in many different images. The Pepper’s Ghost is popularized by the English scientist John Henry Pepper.
