...installation will be composed of clear, hand-sewn acetate animal forms and their shadows, sheer fabric, and plexi. It will also rely heavily on a special lighting design,” Stern says. “I chose to work with shadows because, like shadows, reenacted memories are never the thing itself, and they are only witnessed when captured, such as in the space of a theater or upon the pages of a book...
