Living In Your Shadows

What do our shadows really look like? It’s not like we see them or anything since they’re always behind us right? Designer Katie Sokoler decided to put it to the test with her “Shadow Project.” Together, her and her boyfriend laid out rolls of black paper and cut out traces of themeslves. They then took their “shadows” to the streets of Brooklyn where they pasted them on walls and sidewalks.

Camera in hand, they waited for passerby’s to match up with the shadows perfectly and snapped their photos. These are the results they came up with.
