“Bridget’s Bardo” is an installation artwork created by James Turrell in 2009. This piece is part of the Light and Space movement and belongs to the “Ganzfelds” series. The artwork immerses viewers in an environment suffused with an array of colored lights, producing an experience that challenges the perception of space and depth.
In this specific installation, Turrell ingeniously employs light and color to create an ethereal, almost trance-like atmosphere. The environment features a lengthy, illuminated path that seems to taper as it extends into the background, leading towards two rectangular blocks, one green and the other orange, surrounded by a gradient of purples and pinks. This visual setting induces a sensation that the boundaries of the physical space are dissolving, and the viewers find themselves in a liminal, otherworldly realm where the interplay of light and color guides their sensory experience.
