Here’s a well done, totally creepy interactive experience from Adam Frank Incorporated. You enter a space that seems to contain a person who is casting shadows like yourself, but is invisible. If you stay still the shadow person will try to merge with you in a gesture emulating hugging/strangling. My suggestion, reverse the effect so you enter the space and then your shadow leaves your body - it’d be more “Peter Pan,” less “I want your soul.” It would also help if this was set somewhere other than what looks to be a prison courtyard.

See it here.

The artist, Catherine Bay, outfits performers in latex recreations of the famous Disney ensemble, and then they go about their business reciting a script that includes the lines:

My place in society does not allow me
to play Russian roulette,
to open a casino,
to carry on a sexual relationship with Bill Clinton,
to dress myself out of a fashion magazine,
to wear sneakers Made in China.

Whatever. I just adore the crude English translation of the French explanation: “The multiplied image of White Snow evokes the fall of marvellous in the industry of Disney, its effigy hung up again with our banality…”
There’s video here.

I found it on this blog. ART FORUM BERLIN tells me the artist is Fred Eerdekens, and he’s represented by Spencer Brownstone Gallery, NY.
