Hans-Peter Feldmann: Shadowplay

Special display

By playing with shadows, the German contemporary artist Hans-Peter Feldmann transforms simple, everyday objects into magical imaginary theater on the gallery walls. The installation takes us back to a time when we were entranced by the shadows cast on the walls of our rooms and invites us to delve into the dreams and nightmares of childhood.
