Lot Essay

A monofrequency bulb is mounted at the center of a mirror-polished bowl, which emits a bright light. In front of the bulb, two dichromatic glass disks are installed, which change color according to the viewer’s position and movement. Visitors and surroundings alike are reflected in the glass disks, which also creates a gentle moiré effect.
