Shadow 2
Shadow 2
An activist and an artist, Shilpa Gupta critically looks at globalization and the technological mad rush. With the aim of democratizing art, she tries to reduce the distance between the work of art and the audience. Shown in the Salle del Castillo, her bulky Shadow 2 video installation invited viewers to physically interact with a virtual shadow puppet theater. The projection of viewers’ moving silhouette on a giant screen made them part of a story they helped develop together.
