This is a plain sheet of paper with black text. At the top, it says "SPATIAL POEM NO. 4" and "shadow event." Below that, there are instructions to make shadows of the word "SHADOW" and describe how you did it. The bottom lists a performance period, word count, and date format. The artist turned a simple idea into a global project. People were asked to create shadows anywhere and report back. It’s more about the action than the final image. If you’re curious how this works, look up lithography.
