Optical Arrangement 1, 2019/2023
a rotating base, an LED lamp with a very narrow beam, prisms and dichroid cubes
Despite its small size, Optical Arrangement is a spectacular, kinetic work that plays with light and colours. It consists of a rotating base with prisms on top of it. The white, narrow-beamed light is dispersed by the work’s prisms and dichroic cubes into a colourful riot of light.
The viewers may touch the prisms and the dichroid cubes of one of the bases.
