Michael Pinsky's Transparent Room
is a site specific installation of projected images and sound effects filling the space. It marks a progression in Pinsky's work from the still to the moving image as he uses video footage to project onto the walls to describe a 3-D space. Pinsky transforms the room into an x-ray of space beyond the walls, ceilings and floor of the gallery.

Twenty four hours of events outside the gallery space are compressed into ten minutes of real time, these time lapse views are speeded up and condensed to present dramatic and changing scenes of the rooms adjacent to Watersheds gallery including the sky above and the buildings below.

The fluidity of visual experience is emphasised through his use of radical changes in pace, and in scale, as the view-point moves from panorama to close-up, to texture and finally to a single colour.

The role of the viewer and their interaction with the installation is essential, they become part of the work from the moment they step into the Transparent Room.
