Carsten Höller, THE SHADOW, 1997Before sealing the pot, Carsten Höller trapped his own shadow and Maurizio Cattelan's too. Actually, Cattelan was showing at the gallery next door, and, with the agreement (and the help) of Höller, cloned the whole exhibition. This has been a funny experience

for the visitors...
