...Neri trace in the show. Kara Walker's black silhouettes applied directly to the Whitney's white walls depict surreal scenes from slavery in the Old South. Demonstrating a keen sensitivity to the 19th century African-American literary tradition, Walker's imagery slips between history and fantasy, redemption and horror. Her striking installation monopolizes the historic connotations and graphic irony of the cutpaper silhouette, which despite its crisp, precise line shadows its subjects and prevents full narrative disclosure.
