Untitled [Shadows]

Something in the everydayness of their movement made me want to record them… to capture a moment of stillness in their continuous persistence to live. Something in the futility of their repetitive gestures made me want to stop them… I noticed the shadows; they seemed sure of themselves. They took a life of their own… Dancing in their nothingness… The shadows were definite at first, encircling their bearers’ existence in the world. Slowly, they emerged as their own entities, seemingly independent of their producers. Finally, they took on a life of their own, kicked their causes away and turned themselves into abstractions. What is a shadow? You asked me. What is its reflection? I answered. How did they become shadows of themselves?
