The Shadow’s Skin is a creative translation and installation of selected aphorisms and reflections from La Peau de l’ombre written by Joël Gayraud. In La Peau de l’ombre, Joël Gayraud offers a number of poetic reflections and aphorisms inspired both by daydream and conceptual thinking. The public can playfully reassemble, reorder, turn and manipulate the boxes so that they create their own narratives, becoming assemblers of both meaning and form.
