When I was at the Liverpool Tate Gallery, I sat for quite a while watching a magic lantern slide (1900-1925) of images form Alice in Wonderland. I was mesmerised by the noise and the way the slides moved across out of view.
These are a few of the slides which moved across the light of the projection and out of view. Although the magic lantern is a very old fashioned way to present images, I really enjoyed the jerkeyness and simplicity of it. It really did remind me looking out of a train window as the view out of it gradually moves across and out of sight.
