Abstract: If a geometry $Gamma$ is isomorphic to the residue of a point $A$ of a shadow geometry of a spherical building $Delta$, a representation $varepsilo{n}_{D}elt{a}^A$ of $Gamma$ can be given in the unipotent radical $U_{A^{*}}$ of the stabilizer in $mathrmAut(Delta)$ of a flag $A^{*}$ of $Delta$ opposite to $A$, every element of $Gamma$ being mapped onto a suitable subgroup of $U_{A^{*}}$. We call such a representation a unipotent representation. We develope some theory for unipotent representations and we examine a number of interesting cases, where a projective embedding of a Lie incidence geometry $Gamma$ can be obtained as a quotient of a suitable unipotent representation $varepsilo{n}_{D}elt{a}^A$ by factorizing over the derived subgroup of $U_{A^{*}}$, while $varepsilo{n}_D^{A}elta$ itself is not a proper quotient of any other representation of $Gamma$.
