More information from organisers:

Visitors have the chance to engage with Le Parc’s well known innovative luminokinetic artworks. Initially emerging in 1959 as a series of Light Boxes – sculptures containing sheets of transparent acrylic plastic and light sources to create mesmerising sequences – these installations quickly evolved into Le Parc’s key body of work, the Continual Light Mobiles, debuted in 1960. Spotlights in combination with reflective or transparent moving elements create dynamic kaleidoscopic visuals which transform in front of the spectator.Continuous Light Mobile 1963 features suspended elements which move in response to the air flows generated by the viewers’ movements, further emphasising the importance of the audience in Le Parc’s practice. Light distortion effects are also explored in Unique Continual Light Cylinder 1962 as well as the room-sized installation Vibrating Light – Tulles 1968. This aspect of Le Parc’s oeuvre extends beyond the exhibition walls, with a new large-scale Continual Light Mobile 2026 installed in the entrance hall of Tate Modern’s Blavatnik Building for the duration of the show.
