Synopsis
What exactly is a shadow? Is it light tracing an object or the shape a body throws when it comes between a light source and a surface? Is it a metaphor for the intimate, darker side of a person's nature-as Carl Jung postulated-and the unconscious side of one's self, where daemons and secrets are kept hidden or repressed? Is it an allegorical place between darkness and light, death and living? Or is it a state of illusion, like Plato's cave? Is it a verb that means to follow or accompany, or even to spy on? Shadows, a new collaborative series by Alexandra Grant and Keanu Reeves, explores the real and symbolic nature of the shadow as image and figure of speech. Grant's photographs capture Reeves's shadow at times as a silhouette and at others as traces of light as he and the camera move together. In transforming the images into color and reversing light for dark, Grant has made the shadows themselves the source of light. Reeves's texts, written in tandem with the creation of the images, give voice to the multiple manifestations of the shadow: as a projected figure, a place of concealed emotion and an invocation to shadow play.

Review
An interesting study that sheds light (literally) onto the many manifestations a shadow can have―a projected figure, concealed emotion, or otherwise. (Devon Ivie Interview)

hardcover. Condition: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Fotografie a colori di Alexandra Grant. Testi di Keanu Reeves Design di Alexandra Grant e Keanu Reeves. Cm 30,5x25,5. pp. 112. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Shadows esplora la natura reale e simbolica dell'ombra come immagine e figura del discorso. Le fotografie di Grant catturano l'ombra di Reeves a volte come una silhouette e altre come tracce di luce mentre lui e la macchina fotografica si muovono insieme. Trasformando le immagini in colori e invertendo la luce con il buio, Grant ha reso le ombre stesse la fonte di luce. I testi di Reeves, scritti di pari passo con la creazione delle immagini, danno voce alle molteplici manifestazioni dell'ombra: come figura proiettata, luogo di emozioni nascoste e invocazione al gioco delle ombre.
