The reflection:Experiment

One of the fascinating projects based on modern light art is “Light Space Modulator” which was designed by László Moholy-Nagy, 1928-30 (Popper, F., 2007). The power of this work depends more on the reflection than on the original material.

This experiment uses the reflection of light to capture the movement of shadow. The project develops one object that is operated by hand. The object can change the angle to measure the space of crevice where the light is hard to reach. It is interesting when taking the object into the experiment and surveying its environment. This work assists my project in experience the reflection of light. It investigates the shadow by observing the trace of light. The work records the movement of the object to trace the route of shadow dur

ing the environment. It is the experiment about light and shadow. The perspective of shadow can be drawn through the object. The drawing presents the trace of light as well as the movement of shadow in the environment through out the experiment.



The photos of the object show experiments and measurements upon the space of the crevice within an environment.

It records the movement of the shadow of object in time by observing reflection of light on the surface

These drawings are produced by observing the reflection of light and trace of shadow. It is a drawing of perspective of shadow in the environment.
