Untitled (For Ksenija)
At the Kunstbau, Flavin used the four lighting tracks running along the ceiling to install green, blue, yellow, and pink fluorescent tubes. The colorful intervention brings out the slight curvature of the space and evokes the train tracks of the subway station beneath the Kunstbau. The illumination produces a subtle play of projections of color on the gallery’s floor, walls, and other architectural elements — but also on the visitors’ bodies.
Space and light are fused in an experience that shifts as the viewer strolls through the gallery. Without obscuring the architecture, Flavin’s installation engenders new accents and lets us perceive the space in novel ways.
