The Sun’s Shadow, a version of which first appeared in the international comics anthology Lagon Revue, combines human and sculptural forms in an exploration of movement and stillness, isolation and harmony. A pointed use of color—black on white and blue on black—afforded by the Risograph process, along with an elegantly textured cover and loop-stapling, make Son Ni’s work an inviting and stylish object.
From the publisher: “Like on a speedy train, things moving at the same speed outside the window become still. The velocity divides the two time-space, but they nevertheless go for the same direction. Son Ni’s The Sun’s Shadow, like her previous Travel, depicts the passage before the arrival.”
