Liliane Lijn
Circle of Light   1980

6 metres diameter
20’ diameter

Enamelled copper wire wound aluminium cylinders.

Commissioned by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation for the Midsummer Arcade in Central Milton Keynes.

The oscillating line of reflected light on each cylinder acts as a system of signals that describes spatial changes occurring on the surface of the cylinder. The cylinder revolves at a constant speed which allows the entire surface of the form to be seen by an immobile viewer in one continuous flow.
