About Raethro Red

“Raethro Red” is an artwork created by James Turrell in 1968, belonging to the Light and Space art movement. This installation piece is part of the “Projection Pieces” series.

The artwork features a sharply defined triangle of intense red light projected onto the corner of a darkened room. This vivid projection creates an illusion of a three-dimensional solid figure suspended in the space where two walls meet. The utilization of light and space masterfully demonstrates Turrell’s exploration of perception, light, and the relationship between the physical and the ethereal.
