Box with motor and moving colored lights // Boite à lumières by Horacio García Rossi is a mixed media light sculpture created in 2012. This piece consists of a box containing a motorized system that generates moving colored lights, with an edition limited to 20. A vibrant circular display of purple lights, seen through a dark frame, creates a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic effect as it shifts in motion. García Rossi, a pioneer in kinetic and light art, explores the dynamic interaction between light and perception, inviting viewers into a sensory experience where light itself becomes the subject. The work’s minimalist structure emphasizes the ethereal quality of the shifting colors, embodying García Rossi’s fascination with optical illusion and movement.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
