Captive Light
January 2005. In his new installation Captive Light at
Timebase Gallery, Nathaniel Rackowe presents a scale
model of the gallery itself, constructed from light
refracting Perspex panels. The structure is elevated and
rotates between light-beams from 3 projectors. These
beams consist of moving vertical and horizontal lines.
The rotating object acts as a prism refracting the light
and distorting the beams, which play across the walls of
the space.
