Mere Phantoms: Shadows Without Borders Maya Ersan and Jaimie Robson of Mere Phantoms use shadow play to explore the relationship between memory and architecture, people and place.This mobile installation travelled to refugee camps, squats, and settlements in Athens and Istanbul and now comes to Surrey. Visitors can add their own cut-outs to this ever-growing interactive installation and pick up a flashlight to animate the intricate paper tableaus imbued with stories from communities both near and far.  Mere Phantoms , Shadows Without Borders , Athens, 2018.
