Conceived as an audiovisual shadow play, the work merges archival research, sound, video, found footage, and sculpture. It questions how imagination, fantasy, desire, and violence intersect in these representations, examining the narratives they communicate, the perspectives they offer, and the shadows they cast.
In late November, Bethan Hughes and her mentor, James Richards, will convene at Gropius Bau for a condensed work-stay to further develop Hughes’s project. They will host a public event as part of the exhibition venue’s Spätschicht program.
The final production of Shadowing will be unveiled at the Forecast Festival, in March 2026.
