Shadow 3

Shadow 3 is one of the key manifestations of Shilpa Gupta’s ongoing inquiry into the blurring of relationships between different entities. In the projection, the viewer becomes an active participant in the unfolding narrative where fragments of the aftermath from an environment under rampage, begin to re-enter our lives. Participants take on a new being in the projected images questioning our perception of ourselves and our actions.

The work was featured as part of the exhibition 'Asymmetrical Objects', curated by Tasneem Zakaria Mehta and co-curated by Himanshu Kadam. The exhibition presented the works of ten contemporary artists whose practice includes an interest in nature and science or consumption and degradation as process and product, to respond to these ideas and to explore the much-debated Age of the Anthropocene and its impact on the environment and the effects on biodiversity.
