Shadows tell just part of the story. They withhold some too. The discipline of architecture that studies the shadows cast by or upon buildings is called sciography. Lawrence Weiner's PLACED UPON THE HORIZON (CASTING SHADOWS), 1990, is one of my favorite pieces of public art.
I remember seeing it, (caught unawares), and being confused and amazed by the building and the words. Thought: there must be bigger, secret worlds beyond me, or maybe there are bigger secret worlds for me.
