"The repressed contents of Gupta’s work manifested themselves in spectral form – spectral yet strangely substantial – as a play of shadows and certainties in the interactive video projection Untitled (Shadows I, II & III), 2006-2007. In this scintillating theatre of phantoms, the viewer becomes participants by default, as their shadows – captured by a live camera – interacted with shadow figures emerging from the video projection.
