Julio Le Parc began to experiment with
light in 1959. Originally, light was the
means of giving a concrete form to
several of his concerns, including the
desire to create works in perpetual
transformation. The result is ‘a constant
and unpredictable game of light and
shadow.’ For the artist, the aim of these
incredibly beautiful yet simple works is
to ‘initiate or pursue the destruction of
traditional notions about art, its elaboration,
presentation and appreciation.’
