Reader-built field atlas

Shadow Screen-to-Control Atlas

The audience-facing shadow becomes useful evidence only when it can be connected to the joint, rod, light, voice or operator cue that changed it.

The evidence pair

Two photographs that can be compared

Frame 1

The complete illuminated screen with the chosen figure and scene relation visible

Frame 2

The consented backstage position showing the relevant puppet, joint, rod, light or operator without exposing protected technique

What the note must add

Name the troupe, place, scene and regional form when confirmed. Keep the two views synchronized, distinguish what the image shows from what the performer explains and respect any method the troupe asks not to publish.

Submissions remain private until East Moment reviews the rights, specificity and usefulness of the record.

Editorial founding evidence

A visible baseline, with the gaps left open

These are East Moment editorial records built from authorized or rights-cleared imagery. They are not reader submissions and do not count toward the public record total.

A lit screen and a different backstage presentation

Unmatched editorial baseline

Two open-license photographs establish the Atlas's two necessary viewpoints: an audience-facing shadow scene and people positioned around a lit shadow-puppetry display.

Colorful articulated figures projected across a lit shadow-play screen — Visible: the public image, figure relation and illuminated surface. Missing: the matched controls.

People and equipment around an illuminated Chinese shadow-puppetry display — Visible: a backstage arrangement. This is not the control view for the first photograph.

Still missing: The photographs document different presentations. They do not match one figure, cue, troupe or moment and cannot identify which joint, rod, voice or operator produced the projected action.

Approved reader records

The Atlas in public

No matched screen-and-control pair has cleared review yet.

The first approved record will connect one projected change to the hands, object or cue behind the same scene. Two unrelated performance photographs cannot complete the Atlas.
