Shadowplay invites the viewer to enter a space filled with lightbulbs.

As the viewer moves around the space, the light reacts to the movement by dimming. The installation creates a temporary "shadow path" by turning off any lightbulbs the person passes by. When the person leaves, the light is turned on again after a while.
