Afrum (Pale Pink)

In Afrum (Pale Pink) (1967), a single projector casts a basic geometric form of a pyramid or tetrahedron onto the opposing corner in a darkened room. An optical illusion creates a volume and mass floating untethered in space. A pure and mesmerizing effect overcomes the viewer alone in the room. The installation activates a heightened sensory awareness that promotes discovery: what seems to be a lustrous, suspended cube is actually the conjunction of two flat panels of projected light.
