Makoto Tojiki has created the impossible: a man with no shadow. The construction is of a life-sized man and is made up of hundreds of strategically placed LED lights. The lights are all hanging on the ends of threads that are attached to the ceiling.
The ‘Man with No Shadow’ has clearly defined muscles and features that Makoto Tojiki has cleverly created out of hanging light bulbs.
I don’t know about you, but the creation looks like a human smurf to me!
