Wow, would you look at these images? Kumi Yamashita utilizes shadows in a clever way in her unique art. She focuses bright light at an oblique angle against different materials - letter and number blocks, aluminum - to create these wonderful shadows of people. The art is so ephemeral but the shadows look very realistic.
Reminds me a little of an exhibit Ilira and I saw in Boston where Tim Noble and Sue Webster created what appeared to be piles of garbage, seemingly random mounds of crumpled paper, crushed soda cans, empty boxes, etc, but when a light hit them the right way, shadows of people would appear on the walls.
Below is a video of one of her kinetic shadow sculptures.
