Children’s Game #50: Schattenfangen

Directed by Francis Alÿs

In order to avoid being tagged, the shadow must run away. Only the body to which the shadow belongs can escape to protect the shadow from the catcher’s evil kick. When the feet detach from the ground, the connection between the three-dimensional and two-dimensional figures breaks. Ultimately, all the children’s shadows get caught while the pigeons fly away in the sky.
