// Untitled: (Castor #1) by Claire Fontaine, a digital print from 2013, presents a thermal-like image of a cargo train surrounded by silhouetted figures, suggesting a scene of observation or protest. The image is rendered in vivid shades of blue, green, yellow, and red, with one container highlighted in intense red, drawing attention to its contents or temperature. The surrounding figures add an element of tension, hinting at themes of surveillance, environmental risk, or political dissent. Fontaine’s use of thermal imagery emphasizes the hidden or potentially hazardous nature of transported materials, provoking questions about transparency, safety, and societal oversight.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
