“Ondo Pink,” an installation artwork created by James Turrell in 1968, is a part of the “Projection Pieces” series and belongs to the Light and Space movement. This work exemplifies Turrell’s profound exploration of light perception and spatial understanding.
The artwork features a seemingly solid, pink light projected into a corner of an otherwise dimly lit room. The pink illumination creates a geometric shape that appears as a physical form, challenging the viewer’s perception of depth and space. The surrounding environment is subtly suffused with the pink hue, highlighting the luminous quality of the central light and enhancing the immersive experience. “Ondo Pink” exemplifies Turrell’s innovative use of light to define and transform architectural space, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of vision, perception, and physical space.
