Myth and Infrastructure 

Miwa Matreyek (US)

 

In Myth and Infrastructure, the artist's shadow is constantly present from beginning to end - sometimes in close-up and sometimes as a full figure - as the world around her shifts and transforms. Her shadow becomes an integral part of her own fantastical animation worlds, as she traverses oceans, cities, and domestic spaces to conjure dreamlike scenes with light and shadow.
