EXOTIC SHADOWS - SINQUENZA - 2011

ART BY SINQUENZA
EXOTIC SHADOWS return organic forms and shapes to our daily life and environment. One element is recycled cardboard, this material was once a plant, then transformed into cardboard, bought, used, thrown away, collected and transformed into a 'plant' again. Representing the shadow of the original plant, casting a second shadow on the wall (literally the shadow of the shadow). Duplicating organic forms.It gives you a feeling of physical organic presence. Logically you know that the shadow is not real. Your body in the other hand, based on sensual experience, doesn't sense the difference. This experience of mental and physical contradiction creates tension and strength in this work.Besides the exotic plants, which are used to model for the shadows, also the shadows themselves are becoming more and more exotic, in the 
designed city landscape where we live in.
