Play Dead, Real Time Too

It looks like someone else appreciated the same large-screen elephant exhibit as me. However, I was particularly intrigued by the exhibit for an entirely different reason. The two screens were lit by a projector, and the screens were translucent, such that the image from one projector appeared on both sides of each screen. Therefore, along with the elephants performing their standing up and lying down routine, silhouettes of people would occasionally appear on the screens, and those people could make themselves part of the work. I believe this was intentional, perhaps to attempt to show the relative sizes of people (or their shadows) compared to elephants. The projector could have been placed high near the ceiling to avoid the shadows, but the artist chose to place them on the floor. I appreciate this type of interactive art.
