The artwork, titled “CONTINUANT LUMIÈRE AVEC 16 CYLINDRES,” is an installation by the artist Julio Le Parc, a prominent figure within the Kinetic Art movement.
This particular creation comprises sixteen cylindrical components arranged in a precise grid formation. The cylinders are embedded in a sleek, black frame, resulting in an overall modern and minimalist aesthetic. The arrangement and material of the cylinders interact with light to create a dynamic visual experience, intrinsic to the kinetic principles that characterize Le Parc’s oeuvre. The reflective surfaces within the cylinders alter the perception of light and shadow, constantly transforming as the viewer shifts their perspective, thereby fostering an engaging and immersive encounter with the piece.
