Tirets Neon 0°-90° avec 4 rythmes interferents 1971

"Tirets Neon 0°-90° avec 4 rythmes interferents" (1971) is a minimalist kinetic sculpture by French artist François Morellet. The artwork, which consists of a grid of nine squares illuminated by red neon lights, is a prime example of Morellet's exploration of geometric forms and the interplay of light and shadow. The neon lines shift in relation to each other, creating a dynamic optical illusion. The work was created at a time when artists were beginning to experiment with light and its effects on space and perception. It is a testament to Morellet's commitment to abstraction and his fascination with the power of visual phenomena.
