Light and Space Movement

The Light and Space movement emerged in the 1960s in California, focusing on how light, space, and perception interact. Artists in this movement create immersive installations that alter the viewer's experience of their surroundings, often using natural light and reflective surfaces. Works typically emphasize simplicity, color, and form, encouraging viewers to engage actively with their environment. By manipulating light and spatial relationships, they explore the effects on human perception, blurring the lines between art and reality. This movement has significantly influenced contemporary art, architecture, and design, challenging traditional notions of how we perceive spaces.
