Imagraph is an optical apparatus that projects video onto closed eyelids, created as "a medium that mediates two primordial attitudes: projecting an image and closing the senses. Participants lie on their backs and shut their eyes. Two pieces of LED display board are suspended above their heads from the ceiling, with optical fibers from each pixel extending to the surface of their eyelids. A video prepared in advance is played after being tilted bluish by the spectral compensation for the "blood-red" unique to the participant's own flesh. Here, the lid is the medium for the very object it is trying to block off. The intended colors, their placements, and their motion can be sent, which allows this apparatus to be a medium of animation. However, this in no way implies the triumph of projection over closing the senses.

鑑賞者は仰向けになり、目を瞑る。頭上には2枚のディスプレイが吊り下げられ、そのピクセル一つひとつから光ファイバーが瞼に伸びている。あらかじめ用意されたビデオが、鑑賞者の肉に固有の血色を補償し青ざめられたのち、一方的に再生される。意図された色彩とその配置、運動が届けられ、蓋はまさにそれが拒もうとするものの媒体となる。イメージを投影すること、感覚を閉ざすこと、2つの原初的な態度を調停するメディア。
