A video performance is projected on to a suspended sheet of steel. The steel is being heated from behind by two propane gas burners until the steel glows red hot. The red hot glow interacts with the projected image. The burners are alight throughout the duration of the display. The video projection lasts for 12 minutes after which it repeats.
