Winner of Watershed’s 2014 Playable City Award

Shadowing was created by Chomko and Rosier. It was chosen from a shortlist of eight projects as part of the Playable City Award 2014.

Shadowing premiered in Bristol over six weeks in Autumn 2014 – people hunted out the clandestine locations of eight augmented street lights, and were playing, dancing and shaping their shadows in some of the unexpected and lesser-travelled streets and pathways of Bristol.

Shadowing has since appeared in York, Tokyo, Tel Aviv, London and Austin Texas.
