About Afrum Pale Blue

“**Afrum Pale Blue**,” created in 1968 by artist **James Turrell**, is an iconic piece within the **Light and Space** movement. As an **installation** in his **Projection Pieces** series, the artwork explores the perceptual interplay of light and space.

The artwork consists of an ethereal glowing blue form projected onto the corner of an otherwise dark room. The light creates the illusion of a three-dimensional shape that appears to hover in space.
