I took my shadow shot earlier this week while watching a film at the
Gallery of Modern Art. The short film,
A Begger Woman (Lagos) is a performance art piece by Korean born, New York based artist Kim Sooja.
"In the isolation of her artwork, Kim seeks out a generalized correspondence with the world, but on her own terms and from her own experience. Her allegories are successful because they originate, despite seeming otherwise, from a highly individuated sense of purpose. In a way, Kim's anonymity is a subterfuge, a manner of relating a sense of self whose boundaries are so extended as to do away with the notions of limit entirely. The odd thing about Kim's isolation is that it in fact completely engages with her audience; just as she offers solitude as a way of emphasizing universal implications, so she underscores her autonomy as a way of proceeding toward a wide involvement with others. Indeed, her lonely actions appear to call for help; in the video A Beggar Woman, done in Lagos in 2001, she sits crosslegged, her palm extended for alms. Someone gives her some change, and the muteness of the scene intensifies the artist's vulnerability. We read the interaction as evidence of need everywhere; in her dramatization of want, Kim reduces herself, and us as well, to an egoless composite of desires, an enactment of utter poverty." ~

Sounds like a thought provoking film....
i agree with hdd...very thought provoking...there is a peacefulness about her in the softness of the photo. quite lovely.
That's a beautiful photo of the film. Films are not the easiest things to photograph! If you didn't include the title of the piece I would have thought the woman was meditating. Thanks for including the info about the artist. I'm wanting to learn more about Kim Sooja now!
Interesting film, and a lovely capture.
Wow...such courage to go where seldom do to make a statement. And, to succeed by having your work on exhibit in gallery! Brava!
Ha! Most people eat popcorn while watching movies. Not you! You're too busy taking photos of the movie! I love it! Your photo and the article you provided about the artist make me really want to see this film now. Happy Sunday!
I'm currently cameraless and that's why I haven't joined in SSS for a while. I miss participating!
Hi Erika, I'm posted early too! Beautiful shot throough the eye of the camera... :)
Good photo, I like it!
Good photo, I like it!
Fascinating and wonderfully blissful, this beautiful shadow shot...have a wonderful Sunday Tracy!!!
What a terrific shot! Very peaceful and beautiful and different! Thanks, as always, Tracy for the fun each week!
Sylvia
Lovely photo for today and marvelous shadow gallery as always ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
beautiful... shot and excerpt. She sounds like a very interesting person. I am intrigued by the courage she demonstrates to be so vulnerable and her ability to go so deep, shedding the personal limitations and conditions that bind us to our ego, (whose seemingly insatiable appetite for attention seems to be the real thing that keeps us separated from others and from our true selves and abilities.)
... oh my, that almost sounded intellectual! It's just that my ego and I are having some interpersonal problems lately... she is oh so tiresome in her pursuit, and I just wish she would go on vacation sometimes and give me a rest!
Sounds like an interesting film, and beautiful shot too :)
have a happy week!
I like the Holga feel of that shot. Happy SSS!
I love the circle of soft light around her, as if it's holding her in safety. Nice shot.
I do love the vignetting of the image and how soft and dreamlike it is. No longer living in NYC, the analysis is a bit deep for me these days. I just look and feel, more than understand in words. More power to the artist and filmmaker, and the writer.
Your film would have been awesome to see! The body language screams a low state of being, and yet there is a humbling beauty there. A very interesting post today!
I think the picture says it all..
I can only thank God for never feeling that type of poverty. Although some can have all the material wealth and be just as poor.
Beautiful shot.
Happy SSS.

Very nice! And sounds really interesting and touching.
Thanks for hosting this SSS!
Aha, I see you had to resort to an indoor activity to create your shot for this week. Thunder storms and deluges don't encourage good shadow shots, do they? Thanks for reminding me that I must get back to the gallery - I love that place.
It sounds like a fascinating film. Thank you for sharing the thought provoking photo and passage.
This person seems to spatially distant here. The slight blurriness combined with the shadow is beautiful, as he transcends the worldly to the spiritual realm...
Harriet, my first link on Mr. Linky is not good... I'm sorry. Dimple told me about it. I posted my name again. I hope that's okay... :)
What a powerful image and story.
"an egoless composite of desires" - that is a stunning phrase
the photo seems otherworldly ~ the spiritual realm, as Ralph said
Million thanks for choosing my entry last SS, T! I do appreciate it. Am jst enjoying whether am on or not.
So cool to be with & less cool when I missed it §:-)
Profs collage and your participants are going so clever huh?
hugs T and enjoy your soon summer weather.
xoxo
My first Shadow Shot.. Hope you enjoy.
Love your shot! I don't know if I have any shadow shots for this week again (I really need some time to shoot!), I'll be back to link up if I find anything worthy :-)
Hey there! I am back this week, check out my colored shadow shot :) Great one you have taken, looks so surreal and peaceful and a bit spooky with the brightness. Enjoy your Sunday and week ahead :) cya MonikkaRose
Wonderful shot - very dreamlike with the border and behind the head perspective.
perfect photo capture.

hi there: this photo shot is a powerful statement in itself. i've posted my first shadow entry. you do cool collages, thanks!
Beautiful shadows! I love the small Halloween theme in many and your shadow is lovely Tracey. It has a surreal quality.
Hi Harriet:
The woman in your photo looks as though she is meditating. I can imagine that she's in full lotus position. The only thing amiss is her extended right hand. Then when I read the text to learn that she's begging, the shift in perspective unsettled me.
My SS for today is scheduled to post in a little less than two hours, or 6:00am GMT.
wow! an intriguing fine art piece for this weeks shadow shot. love this tracy!
thanks for hosting this every week, it is always fun.
& of course your collages are beautiful.
So unreal, Moving, too. An inspiring capture!
what a lovely shot and her work sounds very interesting..
Thanks for doing this week after week - it's always so nice to see the gallery!
And I like your shot, too :)
I haven't heard of this movie since we arrived here in S.Korea, it sounds like a very interesting movie to watch.. Great shadows!
Come and find out on how to become tall at my page.
Peaceful picture.
Happy SSS evening to Australia! :)
Love your SSS Tracy! I wonder if we'll get that exhibition down here? Fingers crossed!
Yay - thanks so much for including my shadowy birdy - love your collages as always - I love Kathleen's big old black and white pussy cat - so glad she's joined!!
P.S. Love your chatty comments on my blog Tracy - they always make me smile if not chuckle out loud you funny fing you!! Have a lovely week!!XXX
My first time posting here, some beautiful photos in these galleries. Happy Sunday!
My first thought was that she was meditating - how sad that she is begging!
Sounds like a really fascinating film. You've captured in beautifully. Your photo is so soft and tranquil... makes me want to sit on a mountain and find my sense of self.
Hi, Tracy! LOVE your photo this week--it has such a magical, mystical, other-worldly quality to it... and that film sounds very interesting with much to consider...hhhmmm... Another week of exciting shadows too! Since reading your blog all these months now, I really look differently at shadows play now and look out for shadow effects--thanks for helping me see more around me. :o) Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
Love this capture! You say it's a snap of the film? Quite thought-provoking.
Surveying the Landscape
You always stumble upon the most interesting shadows! Somebody commented about your shot having a Holga feel. That's what I thought when looking at it! Whatever type of camera you used, the photo is very nicely done!
Another great collection of shots! I had a great time visiting
loved your subtle shadow shot!
our daughter Claudia is staying with us in NY
The halloween collage was extra super

Interesting how she seems illuminated. Thanks for having me on SSS. Wonderful thing you got going here!
You captured a very soft, serene SS, Tracy! And thanks for providing the excerpt--sounds like a film to watch! I so enjoy SSS! Happy week, full speed ahead!
Oh, I just love the Halloween flavored collage this week -- what a fun bunch of shots!
This photo of the film is a perfect capture. I don't know how you did it! Wonderful!
Great gallery this week.Your shot looks almost ghostly, fantastic!
Great work. :)
That's a fantastic picture!
Thanks so much Tracy for spotting that error I made with Mr. Linky! I must have defaulted to last weeks one...!
