In Ghosts, Herbert Lacsina presents a seemingly perpetual cycle of self-presentation, invention, and preservation through oscillating acts of absorption and mimicry. The Ghost installation shows two figures simultaneously performing identical movements. One assumes the position of the leader, while the other becomes the follower and replicates the leader’s actions. Every couple of minutes the roles are reversed and their positions are challenged.
