Water Illumination is an audiovisual project that presents documentary video of water surface, filmed in bright sunlight. The video is explored with algorithmic methods, which create sound waves and change the representation of video. This research, breaking in the documentary, shapes the new perception of observed substance.

Comparing what is happening with the preceding information of personal experience, one can note the permanency in phenomenon essence perception. The documentary video, showing water droplets and the shining sunlight refracted in them, continues to exist despite the digital transformation.
