In the Silhouetteur, everyone can transform themselves into the figure they always wanted to be: Two wings turn one into an angel, a crown makes one become a king, a woolen blanket shapes one into a monster.

Thilo Hoffmann brings with the Silhouetteur the ancient tradition of shadow play into the modern age: the viewer sees the person standing on an illuminated box only as an outline – with simple props, which can be cut out of a cardboard box, for example, the person on the box can become another persona.

Hoffmann developed the silhouetteur with photography student Elias Al Ameri.

Project realised in collaboration with Elias Al Ameri
