"Exercise in Shadow and Reflection" is a 1968 work by Uruguayan conceptual artist Luis Camnitzer. The artwork features the words "Exercise in Shadow" and "Reflection" written in bold, black font above the same phrases written in a lighter, grey font. The use of multiple fonts in the piece highlights the concept of shadow and reflection, as the grey text acts as a shadow or reflection of the bolder text. This piece demonstrates Camnitzer's interest in language and its relationship to visual perception.
