Broken Spectre (preview link)

A Brocken Spectre is term used for a natural phenomenon - when the coincidence of light, mist and elevation cause a projected reflection of your body.

Broken Spectre takes the idea into an exploration of physical reflection. Two men climb a 

mountain, starting and finishing each others movements, moving towards an absurd sublime moment.

It suggests being-other, through the action and the words of philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, where he argues that the existence of the other is the necessary condition of freedom, rather than its limitation.
