Ann Veronica Janssens Sky Blue, 2005
240-400 Watt halogen lamp (size M), dichroic color filters, tripod
Dimensions variable
Edition of 3
A halogen lamp with a blue dichroic filter is placed in such a way that its light creates a color spectrum on a wall (or other projection surface). Because the lamp is covered with a filter limiting its color spectrum, the appearance of the spectrum seems counterintuitive. Sky Blue uses simple means to create a beautiful and surprising work that demonstrates optical properties of light of which one generally remains incognizant.
