2013年4月1日 — 對於荷蘭藝術家戴爾特•魏格曼（Diet Wiegman）來說，日常生活用品也可以變廢為寶。在超過30年的職業生涯中，他通過使用光和影的效果將垃圾和其他鑄造類材料變成了美麗的雕塑作品。有天他走過一個垃圾場，從而產生了這個靈感。自從那時起，魏格曼使用各種物品創作成藝術品，挑戰社會問題並糊弄了人們的雙眼。

2008年，魏格曼創作了名為“舞影”（Shadow Dancing）的作品，展示了邁克爾•傑克遜（Michael Jackson）跳舞的影子效果。

'SHADOW DANCING' by Diet Wiegman

The incredible shadow-dancing light sculptures of Diet Wiegman

Artist Diet Wiegman manages to sculpt mounds of irregularly shaped structures that are transformed into an intricately detailed silhouette when a light shines on it from a precise angle. Similar to the light and shadow sculptures of artistic duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Wiegman leaves audiences in awe with his puzzling ability to cast remarkably figurative shadows from heaps of seemingly abstract sculptures.

An oddly configured work that branches out unpredictably is, in fact, meticulously sculpted to cast a shadow that realistically resembles Michael Jackson. The King of Pop is resurrected with a simple spotlight aimed at the sculpture from a very specific angle. Similarly, Wiegman recreates the Venus de Milo, Atlas, and even Michelangelo's David. The visual artist also utilizes the effects of reflecting light off shiny surfaces.

Perspective is everything in Wiegman's sculptures, as can be seen in the video below where his Michael Jackson shadow sculpture (known as Shadow Dancing) is slowly rotated in front of a fixed light and paused briefly when the image of Jackson is revealed.
