Once re-projected, the filmic process opens a light-window into the room and the video gets integrated into the real space. The light defines its occupied portion. The relation between the sport man and his environment is transposed onto the new room, as well as his physical action. Still, the dimension of the video is virtual, as well as the movement. Through the unseen and un-filmed part – the view and perspective of the athlete – we automatically identify with the athlete’s perspective, as we know by experience all the composing elements of it: physical challenge, athlete, floor and grey. In the senses of the observer the tactile pressure of the floor and the encompassing presence of the grey floor start to build an image. At this moment the virtual space of the video and the real space start to merge. The physicality of the athlete and his movements overpass the confined dimension of the frame into the real world.
