Ephemeral Spaces and Relational Places Built with Light

Or how to generate a luminescent shadow.

Is it possible to imagine a shadow that generates light? Can we reverse the usual relationship between light and shadow, to make a luminescent shadow?

We use the word ‘shadow’ to refer to the relative darkness caused by the interception of rays of light, the area of space which, because it is behind an opaque body lit by a light source, is totally or partially devoid of light.
