Extended Neon Cube 20/40/60/80/100 - 2005

neon tubes
100 x 100 x 100 cm / 39 1/4 x 39 1/4 x 39 1/4 in

A large cube structure of neon tubes contains four smaller cubes of diminishing sizes. Each neon cube lights up for a short moment, followed by the lighting of the next one, and thus forming a moving light sequence from the smaller to the largest cube. The construction of the work is clearly perceptible but creates the impression that the whole structure is changing size and extending beyond its boundaries.
