Description:  There is a moment in this piece where the projection completely disappears, leaving a blank wall, and then it soon reappears. An effect conceptually similar to the effect seen in Phase = Time (1999) except while in Phase = Time the illusion of reverse motion is created by an after image effect, in Tra La La Boom the effect is to dispell the illusion of the virtual space by making a jarring break from the mesmerizing depth of the projection.
