This environment evolved from a tiny book of paper cutouts that cast shadows as you turned its pages. Each page was enlarged into a wooden screen. These were installed in a three story white room, where they interacted with lights to fill the space with a network of overlapping shadow patterns.

Materials: Wooden screens, spotlights, projectors, dimmer
Dimensions: 25' H x 35' W x 40' L
