June 28, 2007: Trash shadow
This is featured in a Tate Gallery magazine item called "The Emblem of Earthly Vanities", featuring art with shadows or other things that make us see an art object differently. But xoB found it here at a blog entry featuring shadows in art. Credit Tim Noble and Sue Webster for the work entitled "Dirty White Trash (with Gulls)", 1998. And the interesting thing is... the trash shown is said to be six months of the artists' refuse. |

I think that is great. There are also some good ones on the Earthly Vanities website you posted.
Thanks UT and xoB!

Hi Coign.
You know how it is. Those seagulls were SO last year!

The closest thing to what I'm thinking, regarding multiple images cast and reproduced on a single, complex 3-D surface, and this is a gross over-simplification, but you know those billboards that change as you drive by? Like that, but, not to name the particular object, it's much more interesting than parallel, vertical louvers with angled facets.
To do what I'm talking about, you'd need something like a Tracer, which I do have, and which most notably a friend and I used to blow up a single eye from an india ink, cross-hatched illustration (he did) of a photograph of a model's face, up from about one inch to about ten feet across, then re-colored it with oil pastels, thus making a perfect photographic reproduction of a human eye that you can only see from at least twenty feet away.

I think this one illustrates how the 3-D pile gives no clue as to what the shadow will look like. I'm in awe of people who think this stuff up.

I don't think that's the actual shadow. Certainly that's the case for HE/SHE piece (in that second link).

They are all actual shadows.
With the possible exception of Flint's.

Bruce who? Bruce Lee? Bruce Almighty? Bruce the Shark? I don't recognize the 3D shape for that profile, Flint. Could you be more specific?
