SHADOW-CASTING ROD
swift adornment
from top to toe
sliding weightless
stealthily
from toe to top
intangible
Light installation, Shadow Casting Rod | iron rod, Osram lightbulb, 500-watt | Villa Malpensata, Lugano, CH, 1987
The rod is an enlarged ‘brooch’ measuring almost four metres, hanging in space. Suspended in front of the Osram lightbulb, the projection of its intangible line creeps up and down the passer-by.
The brooch itself is not worn, merely in the form of its projected shadow, intentionally or not.
