The Invisible Man is a motion picture installation which shows two (sets of) images facing one another. There is an eighteen-minute projection entitled The Invisible Man, and on the other side of the room, a case holding three monitors, stacked one on top of another, each showing a different loop. These identical monitors sit on shelves inside a free-standing, dark-painted wooden box, which contains three DVD players at its base. The top monitor is roughly eye level. Three "windows" cut out of the box allow viewers to see the three monitor screens. Sound comes from the projection and requires two speakers placed on either side of the screen.

The top monitor was shot in Vila do Conde, Portugal, and shows an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young boy, each inhabiting the same space, but at different speeds, and apparently independent of one another.

The bottom monitor was shot in Toronto, Canada and shows a man making repairs to a train track at night.

The middle monitor shows a dying man in a hospital bed. The oft-remarked flashback which accompanies the last moment of life is presented here as a series of layered and overlapping memories of childhood. This dying man has become his body, the water of his body, the water which bears his memories back to him. These reflections on beginning and ending are framed by the shots above and below.

The projection, which bears the title The Invisible Man, shows the journey of a man in search of his roots. He is pursued by his childhood self, who has already written his own future, and foretells the amnesia which will doom this travelling. It is a life made of pictures, an allegory and reflection of life inside "the society of the spectacle."
