REVOLUTION I
Lacquered wooden panel, 36 halogen light bulbs, electronic components, power supply.
Dim. 150 x 80 x 9 cm
Resulting from the artist's research on weather and climate, Revolution I is composed of 32 small bulbs that draw a luminous ellipse, the bulbs are being turned on and off one by one. The intervals between the activation of each bulb are extremely brief, so they create an illusion of movement which, on the one hand, allows us to reconstruct the form and, on the other hand, gives the impression that this luminous trail is constantly escaping.
The artwork, conceived as an object visible from the exterior, plays with the desire to visualize both the trajectory of the light and the passage of time and pushes the spectator towards the state of profound contemplation.
