How Many Birds Would It Take to Carry My Shadow is an immersive installation transforming participants’ silhouettes. Using a depth Kinect camera, the work captures bodies in real-time. I convert their silhouettes into point clouds that either scatter or assemble in response to human gestures and live music improvisations.

Inspired by the photographic work of Xavi Bou, which captures the trajectory of birds in flight, I attempt to visualize shadows similarly, as temporal collective motion.
