History casts a long shadow.
Using silhouettes Kara Walker (@kara_walker_official) portrays twisted landscapes of subjugation, depravity, and desire.
Through these fictional representations, Walker confronts the real-life horrors inflicted on bodies and psyches, past and present. “I have always responded,” Walker said, “to art which jarred the senses and made one aware physically and emotionally of the shifting terrain on which we rest our beliefs.”
