HOMO FABER 2026 E-CATALOGUE
Every object tells a story. Here, more than 200 works are displayed on a kinetic structure. Through the use of back lighting, their silhouettes are thrown onto the facing walls to form a shadow sculpture that visitors are invited to ‘read’ like a language. Selected for their intricate silhouettes, for their earthy tones – echoing the first graffiti made by humans – or for the way they interact with light, the chosen objects create shadows that constitute the mysterious visual language of beauty.
