Macaque stands behind her and holds his hand up so they're two distinct hands. His bigger than hers because it's closer to the light.
"See how the proximity to the light makes a difference?" He makes another light source, still behind them but from a different angle. "And two changes it. You get instinctively good at knowing what a light will do to your shadow, and the shadows around it."
He goes back to just one light source, then walks slowly towards her, watching as their hands start merging. Eventually he's right at her back and he presses the palm of his hand to the back of hers. Their hands sort of look like one hand, but you can see the imperfections in the silhouette. He moves his hand back and forth to show her how that works, then he stops moving his hand, but the shadow keeps moving.
"That's basic shadow manipulation. You sense and see the shadow on whatever it's projected on, and you make it move. It's the most basic."
He steps back. And on the wall he projects a set of shadows that look like they're woven together, with small spaces between.
"Move your hand like you're prying the threads apart. Don't worry about what your hand is doing, worry only about what the shadow is doing. And how you move your hand differently in shadow then you would to do this with physical threads."
