MASTERCLASS ‘EMPEZAR DESDE LA SOMBRA’, FEDERICO CLAVARINO

Think about how strange your shadow is: it is at once the proof that you are here, positioned somewhere between the sun and the surface onto which your silhouette is cast, and at the same time it is a portion of space you can never occupy, since you can never coincide with your own shadow. A shadow is both you and not you, like a photograph.
