Catalogue Essay
Son et lumière (Le rayon vert) is a characteristic example of the artists’ inventiveness, wit and interest in the relationship of the ordinary to the sublime. Here an enchanting light spectacle is created, through assembled humble materials and low-fi techniques: a revolving record turntable, refracted coloured light, a cheap plastic cup, a torch.
