#6 SHADOW

That shadow, my likeness, that goes to and fro, seeking a livelihood, chatter ing, chaffer ing;How often I find myself standing and looking at it where it flits;How often I question and doubt whether that is really me;—But in these, and among my lovers, and caroling my songs,I never doubt whether that is really me.

Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.

Concept is an international online ART PROJECT for abstract ar t, painting and photography based on Facebook, founded by Elena Korn.

The purpose of this group is an attempt to merge geometry, form and construction, with the nature of unconsciousness (your associations, sensations, spontaneity) into a unified whole—a concept expressed on a photography.

The artists members of this group are prompted to work under three key principles:• CONCEPTUALISATION • GEOMETRY • EXPERIMENTATION

The works shown in this issue are personal interpratations of the concept ”SHADOW.”

“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,And he sometimes goes so little that there’s none of him at all.

He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.He stays so close behind me, he’s a coward you can see;I’d think shame to stick to nurse as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.”Robert Louis Stevenson—1850-1894 / Edinburgh, Scotland.

The authors have tried to show with pictures theirs view of what details of a building is the most representative or gives the actual architecture its special feeling.

Concept—Magazine
