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.

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.

The work consisted of an action that took place in a corner of one of the rooms at the ICC, the International Cultural Centre, in Antwerp. A camera was filming the room, while a monitor was facing it, immediately displaying what the camera registered. Black tape was put on the wall, and gradually the monitor also becomes covered in black tape. We can follow the process in the photographs. At the end of the action a schematic image of a box could be seen on the screen, made from the strips of black tape from the wall and the monitor. When viewers went to stand in the corner, they saw themselves on the monitor, caught in a box. In this way they were made conscious of the interplay of illusion and reality that developed between the real room and the room on the screen. This work dates from a period when video was still in its infancy. Schwartz experimented in a playful but critical way with the new medium and made viewers actively conscious of their behaviour.

Hierop was een camera gericht en er tegenover stond een monitor opgesteld. De camera filmde de ruimte; wat er te zien was, werd rechtstreeks op de monitor getoond.

Op het einde van de actie was er een schematische afbeelding van een doos op het scherm te zien. Deze doos was samengesteld uit banden zwarte tape, een combinatie van de kleefband op de muur en op het scherm.
