Shadow Play by Superimpose Architecture

Shadow Play

Grow with light, play with shadow

ArchitectureCulturalTemporary

Shadow play lets children grow visually and adults feel young again. Superimpose Architecture responded to the Beijing Kids Design Week theme, ‘Grow Down and Shrink Up’, by creating ‘Shadow Playground’.

This interactive and low-tech installation is meant for the young to optically grow and for the adults to feel young again. Kids and adults can explore their imagination in a simple and low-tech way that blurs the differences between all ages by using shadow projections. ‘Shadow Play’ is not meant as an art piece but to be accessible, fun and inviting to people of all ages to explore the simple relationship between light, body and the shadow.
