Anthony McCall's Solid Light Series

I was at the Serpentine Gallery to see Anthony McCall's Solid Light installation in which he describes cones of light that take on an incredible solidity and highly interactive space defining surface using lines. It was rather magical being bathed in darkness and engulfed in beautiful swirls of smoke dancing on the swooping surfaces of light. Amazing how the botanist Robert Brown's version of motion can be described in such alternatively beautiful works of 'durational structure'. With the lines, ellipses and arcs of light we experience the space defined by this cones of 'solid light' expand and contract. With the haze filled dark room, these solid cones of light continuously change on their surface as the patterns dance to their own music.

Check it out?
