It seems like a light modifier just like a scrim, barndoor, or softbox. The cheap version would be a large-ish piece of cardboard and cutting out slits and then placing it in front of a hard light source. How close it is to the source and how close the two are to the subject would be what you would have to play with to get a similar effect.

At least, that's my guess!

I did something similar to this many years ago and I just used an old set of blinds that I found on the side of the road

A projector would also do the trick. Here's a portrait I did using a projector and Speedlite/color gels.

E.T. Can you tell me more how you used a projector and speed light to achieve this? How did you manage overspill on the backdrop from projector? Diagram? I think it is a stellar shot, well done.
