Everett draws upon one of the most influential stories within European literature: Plato's allegory of the cave in Book 7 of The Republic. In this text the philosopher draws a distinction between two forms of reality: the reality of the visible world and the (true) reality of ideas. Everett presents a simple yet highly effective installation using a projector that creates a perceptual and experiential space analogous to that of Plato's cave. In doing so he translates the complex relationship among light source, reflection, silhouettes and representation into seemingly endless stages of mediation, within which reality is continually and newly constituted as the reality of its own being.
Ostensibly it involves the image of the St Mary in the Castle auditorium being projected back into itself to create a 'non-real' reality and thus surrendering the viewer into a semi-permanent state of perspective fixity. This then creates a duality, as outlined above, the quality of character of the venue being two-fold.
