Ends at the eyes of his projected double

the second half of the following text describes this video artwork. Does the highlighted section mean "constructing a plane of vision on the monitor that starts with the real artist and ends with the eyes of the artist's image on the monitor"?

Text:

For Krauss, the narcissistic element of video rules out a material consciousness of space and time both within the medium itself and in terms of the response it might generate from a spectator. Instead, she says the monitor behaves like a mirror which creates a self-enclosed loop between the artist as performer and the artist as reflector, positions which are encouraged by the technology, which centres the body ‘between two machines that are the opening and closing of a parenthesis’. This is epitomised in Acconci’s Centers, 1971, in which the artist records himself pointing at the centre of the monitor for 20 minutes, an action Krauss describes as constructing a plane of vision that begins with the artist and ends at the eyes of his projected double (Art and Psychoanalysis by Maria Walsh).?
