LAJOS DARGAY: The Light Modulators I–III
...
The Light Modulators I–III are Lajos Dargay’s masterpieces. Inside the three square-based cuboid prism nickel frames, there are three bigger consecutive nickel disks surrounded by smaller ones. As an interactive reaction to light, the plates are rotated by an electric motor. These slowly revolving illuminated disks start a luminokinetic display: they spin around one another following a special orbit, they reflect light flickering and shimmering and they project light on their environment. Due to real and virtual motion, the constructions are constantly changing, thus incorporating time as a constituent part of the artwork. The body of the sculpture ensemble is finally dissolved by light and motion, the structure itself is dematerialized and projected into space by the light it mirrors and reflects. This light environment is the actual work of art Lajos Dargay intended to create.
