“Open Field” is an installation artwork created by James Turrell in 1994. This piece belongs to the “Ganzfelds” series and is part of the Light and Space art movement. The installation features a combination of fluorescent and LED lights to create an immersive environment.
The artwork consists of an enclosed space illuminated with vibrant blue lighting, creating a serene and otherworldly ambiance. The lighting structure is meticulously arranged to form a rectangular outline on the walls, with stark contrasts between bright and subdued areas. A large rectangular pane, seemingly floating and bathed in a mix of blue and pink hues, dominates the central area of the installation. This piece exemplifies Turrell’s exploration of perception, light, and space, inviting viewers to experience altered states of visual and spatial awareness.
