«Pepper`s ghost» is the term of a lighting tecnique used in theatre, to create an illusion of a person appearing or disappearing slowly; without being in the room. Here «Pepper`s ghost» is an image of the complex human mind. Different hidden aspects that enters to the surface or floats in the background, and then to disappear again. Moving in and out of the mind. Layers that perform alone, but also in communication with each other.
