A photograph of a large pale screen in a dark hall, showing projected silhouettes and coloured shadows. On the left, a bare-chested figure with a beaded necklace sits cross-legged, rendered in yellowish tones. On the right, a cluster of standing figures with orange-red light and dark shadows of robed people, one holding a staff, suggests a ritual or fire scene. The image is a projection rather than a live scene, with the dark room framing the screen.
