In the beginning he used video to document and preserve his projects, but from 1977 he integrated this medium in his installations. The dialogue between illusion and appearance remained his main concern. The video constructions consisted of geometrical surfaces installed or painted in a space that was surveyed by a camera. The resulting video images were then shown in the same space. Usually the camera was installed in such a way that all the elements together would form one geometric figure. When viewers moved through these spaces they could observe themselves on the screen between the surfaces, and thereby analyse the real and illusory relations between the forms present. The electronic image functions as a magic device for manipulating appearances and real presences. Viewers understand the treacherous nature of the video image, but also their own behavioural patterns. The role of the observing subject turns into that of the acting subject. \u003cem\u003eCircle\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;fits into Schwartz\u0026rsquo;s series of video constructions.

Aanvankelijk gebruikte hij video om zijn kunstwerken vast te leggen en te bewaren, maar vanaf 1977 integreerde hij het medium in zijn installaties. Ook hier stond de dialoog tussen illusie en verschijning voorop. De videoconstructies bestonden uit geometrische vlakken, opgesteld of geschilderd in een ruimte die door een camera werden gefilmd. Deze videobeelden werden op een monitor in dezelfde ruimte getoond. De camera was meestal zo opgesteld dat op het scherm al de elementen uit de ruimte samen \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n geometrische figuur vormden. Als je je als toeschouwer verplaatste in deze ruimte zag je tegelijk jezelf op het scherm tussen de vlakken en kan je zo de re\u0026euml;le en schijnbare verhoudingen tussen de vormen in de ruimte analyseren. Het elektronische beeld fungeert hier als middel bij uitstek om te goochelen met schijn en werkelijkheid. Op het scherm ervaart de kijker de bedrieglijkheid van het videobeeld, maar ook zijn eigen gedrag in de ruimte. Zijn rol als kijkend subject verandert naar die van handelend subject. \u003cem\u003eCircle\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;past binnen de reeks van zijn videoconstructies.
