Leigh Orpaz’s work features a young girl standing against the sunset; the only movement discernible on video is not that of her body, but rather of two illuminated hearts painted on the girl’s head, two red hearts. In the video work, which is based on a moving image, Orpaz uses a technique of still photography, of an image frozen in time. The depicted figure stands frozen, trying to keep still. The light emanating from the two illuminated hearts is the only moving element in the work—the light within the work, and the light passing from the projected image to the viewers’ eyes.
