Robert Whitman also did a piece called Shower (1965), described by Jonas
Mekas in his June 3, 1965 Village Voice column which was subsequently
republished in his book Movie Journal. A woman showers inside a shower box,
while a color film of her taking a shower is projected onto the box (which
is made of clear plastic, so water runs down the projection surface).
I remember reading about someone projecting through mist, but can't remember
the reference. Was it Ken Jacobs? Stan Vanderbeek?
