This print set shows seventeen small, black-and-white photos. Each one twists a simple shape until it turns into its own shadow. You have to tilt the page to see it happen. Raetz loved playing with angles and light. He printed these on rough paper to make the shadows feel real. The shapes start clear, then blur just enough to trick your eye. Next time you’re at a museum, look up Markus Raetz.
