In Praise of Shadows

For each of us reality reveals itself as a combination of fragmented moments, an ever shifting present. A multiplicity of viewpoints that is not taken but assumed, transient to itself, neither real nor unreal. "In Praise of Shadows" is a silent suite of luminal art in space performed by the luminal instrument 9:1. The composition is informed by the dark adaptation phenomenon that occurs in the human eye and profoundly inspired by the essay of the same name written in 1933 by Japanese novelist Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
