Round them Oranges presents, In Defence of Shadows. This exhibition delves into the ephemeral nature of identity, exploring how shadows embody ambiguity and resist definitive form. Inspired by Boris Groys’ “The Logic of the Collection”, it questions whether we frame our identities or are framed by others’ perspectives. Through the gaze—rooted in desire and often shaped by cultural fascination—the featured works navigate the tension between visibility and autonomy. These artists reject singular narratives, embracing complexity and withholding parts of their stories. In Defence of Shadows reframes identity as fluid and self-determined, where shadows become conscious boundaries, balancing agency and aesthetic exploration.
