“Gard Blue,” created by James Turrell in 1968, is an installation artwork part of the “Projection Pieces” series, belonging to the “Light and Space” art movement.
The artwork is characterized by its use of light to shape and define space, providing an ethereal experience. It features a luminous blue triangular form projected into the corner of a room, creating an illusion of tangible structure through the manipulation of light. The soft, radiant light transitions subtly, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between light, perception, and architectural space. The minimalist aesthetic and immersive quality are hallmark traits of Turrell’s pioneering approach within the Light and Space movement.
