White Picket Fences In The Clear Light of Day Cast Black Lines

Overview

Wayang Kulit is a type of Indonesian shadow puppet theatre where, in its traditional form, the 'goodies' and the 'baddies' are easily identifiable by their shape. If only life were that easy.

For artist Sangeeta Sandrasegar, shadows are just as revealing as they are in Wayang Kulit. In her own masterful way, she explores the formation of self and the details of our identity through shadow, casting a long low light over the societal roles we live in. With sculptures and silhouettes, Sandrasegar's exhibition may rely on specific light sources, but it's this that gives each one of her exhibitions their own unique flavour, adapting to the space and allowing for creative interpretation of the surroundings. So no need to be scared of the shadows, step into them and see what is illuminated.
