synchronicity

When entering the gallery you see a projection of a window. When opening the gallery door, you see that the depicted window also slowly opens.
There´s an intimate feel about it, once you realize that it is a window in the artist's studio.
I find the idea of synchronized events fascinating, being aware of the fact that when you do something simple such as opening a door, picking up a teacup, there are thousands, maybe even millions of people doing the exact same thing at the exact same time.With a simple mind switch you suddenly empathize with an imaginary yet also very real group of people.
