Amazing Shadow Art by Kumi Yamashita

ADVERTISEMENT

Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita creates amazing shadow art by using various seemingly ordinary items and some light.

A giant steel exclamation point, lit from right angle becomes a question mark, paper sheets cast shadows that look like faces, aluminum numbers add up to create a silhouette of a woman – these are just a few examples of what cool artworks can be done with shadows. The shadow and light art possibilities are endless, but you probably already knew that if you had seen the works of Tim Noble & Sue Webster or Rashad Alakbarov that we posted earlier.

“I sculpt shadow with light or sometimes light with shadow, but both functions in essentially the same manner creating this unique art. I take objects and carve and place them in relation to a single light source. The complete art installation is therefore comprised of both the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light or shadow).”

    I may look like a cat, but deep down I'm a panda. Sometimes I'm lazy, sometimes I'm bored - I'm just like you, but a bit cooler.
