A photograph of a large curved projection screen in a dark hall showing a stylised animated figure of a man with short dark hair, wearing a white collared shirt and white trousers, standing with arms at his sides against a plain white background. The figure appears on a screen, not as a physical person. Faint specks mark the fabric; the wide screen fills the centre of the frame. The projected figure is a depiction on a screen, not an in-person presence.
