The artwork, titled “Continuel-Lumière au Plafond/Galassia (Ceiling light),” was created by artist Julio Le Parc in 1963. It belongs to the Kinetic Art movement and is categorized under the design genre.
The artwork features a suspended rectangular canopy from which myriad small, rectangular metallic elements dangle. These reflective pieces catch and diffuse light in various directions, creating a dynamic interplay of illumination and shadow. The delicate balance and structured rhythm of the components exemplify the principles of Kinetic Art, aiming to invoke a kinetic experience for the observer while harmonizing form and function in a striking design.
