white polyvinyl tape on painted panel in a box of the artist. Year ca. 1963–1971. Published: N. Leblanc, D. Everarts de Velp-Seynaeve, Walter Leblanc, Catalogue raisonné, Bruxelles, 1997, No. 564, p. 201. // PF 657 by Walter Leblanc, created around 1963–1971, is a mixed media artwork featuring white polyvinyl tape meticulously arranged on a painted panel. This piece exemplifies Leblanc's commitment to kinetic and optical art, where the interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic, pulsating visual effect. The arrangement of the white strips forms a series of narrow, elongated diamond shapes that appear to shift as the viewer changes perspective. By using simple materials and a monochromatic palette, Leblanc achieves a sense of movement and depth, challenging perceptions of space and form. This work invites viewers to engage with its optical illusion, exploring how minimalistic elements can produce complex, engaging visual experiences.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
