Let there be light! Contemporary art and light

Visibility depends on light, whether daylight or artificial; it constantly surrounds us, but we pay it no particular attention. Clearly, light is the essential medium of the visual arts. Originally, light was a potent artistic symbol and its rep­re­sen­ta­tion was associated with knowledge and power. Light becomes the primary medium of photography and cinema, then in the twentieth century, an artistic subject in its own right. Taking a brief history of the rela­tion­ship between light and art as its starting point, the lecture presents the approach of several con­tem­po­rary artists who have studied light and/​or used it in a particular way.
