“Alta Pink” is an installation artwork created by James Turrell in 1968. This piece is part of the Light and Space art movement and belongs to Turrell’s renowned series, “Projection Pieces.”
The artwork presents an intriguing play of light against a corner of a room. A vibrant, glowing pink triangle is projected onto the walls and floor, creating an immersive visual experience that manipulates perception of space and light. The sharp, clean edges of the geometric form contrast with the soft illumination, embodying Turrell’s exploration of light as a medium to transform the viewer’s spatial awareness. The simplicity of the composition invites contemplation and reflection, characteristic of the Light and Space movement’s emphasis on sensory perception and experience.
