Liliane Lijn
Linear Light Column   1969

detail

23cm diameter x 187cm height

Copper wound perforated metal cylinder, electric motor, chromed steel base.

In this series of work I was interested in the way a reflected line of light describes the altered surface of the cylinder. It speaks with a serpentine, sibylline voice, sensual but also cerebral, since it gives precise information about any changes made to the surface of the cylinder.
