“Raethro (White)” is an installation artwork created in 1967 by the artist James Turrell. It belongs to the Light and Space art movement and is part of Turrell’s “Projection Pieces” series.
The artwork features a geometric projection of luminescent light, forming a white triangular shape as it intersects the corner of a dimly-lit room. The illuminated triangle appears to be floating or suspended in the space, emphasizing the interplay between light, perception, and the structural boundaries of the room. The stark contrast between the bright, pristine triangle and the surrounding shadows creates a visual focus that encapsulates Turrell’s exploration of light and space, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the serene and contemplative experience that is characteristic of his installations.
