Penumbra, 2003
Single channel video with sound
5 minutes 13 seconds
Edition of 5
This video captures a billowing installation that the artist created for Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City, New York. Shin first collected umbrellas that were left abandoned on the street after several windy storms. She detached the fabrics from their frames and joined them together to create a large canopy in the trees. Altered in form, purpose, and beauty, they offer shade from the sun, rise and fall with the breeze, and cast gentle shadows on the grass below.
