What happens when you upend an image? Applying this very simple question to an image of NBA Hall of Famer or NBA great players dribbling a ball, revealed their shadows as a reflection. Noel W. Anderson is thinking about this shadow the way author Ralph Ellison in Invisible Man and theorist Franz Fanon discuss the non-being of black people’s being like a shadow. This work is about realizing a certain kind of spiritual, supernatural, magical power of black male subjects and bodies through the process of inversion.
