Art Exhibition
Digital exhibition of shadow puppetry gives traditional art a new look
An avant-garde art exhibition based on Chinese shadow puppetry is currently running simultaneously in the North Bund area of Shanghai and Shenzhen City in Guangdong, where it features a collection of over 3,000 digitalized shadow puppets.
The Monkey King, the tiger slayer Wu Song, the White Snake… heroes from classic Chinese stories appear one after another in this exhibition – or at least their shadows do. It creates an immersive visual feast of light and shadow for the audience.
Co-produced by the Chinese Temple of Light and French visual studio Danny Rose, the exhibition gives shadow play – a time-honored folk art with a history of around 2,100 years – a new look with the help of cutting-edge technology.
