The projected shadow, from XVIIth-century Tenebrist painters down to Christian Boltanski's contemporary installations. It's the ambiguous and dramatic antagonist of Baroque art, of Romanticism, Impressionism, Symbolism, the tell-tale reflection of Murnau's movies, a vector for the Surrealists' projections, and the friend of photographers, Man Ray or André Kertész. A friend of the Chic Cityrats, as well.
