Street and Wall Art in Lodhi Colony, New Delhi: timelapse and shadows

From the archive record

The amazing wall art by Daku on the wall of two storey building which will only be visible till 15 May for it needs the blazing summer sun in just the right position to be read. The only piece that replaces colour with natural light. It would be inaccurate to describe the piece as a painting as it is a clever work of art that experiments with design and type. Drilled into a wall by local street artist 'Daku', the black-and-white mural features stylised words cut from semi-metallic sheets. Designed to reflect life's changes, the new work rests on an intricate game of light and shadow. When the sun shines overhead, the metallic pieces cast shadows that reveal words. When the sun fades, so does the art. Source : livemint.com This footage is part of the professionally-shot broadcast stock foo
