Liquid Reflections

Liquid Reflections is a complex moving sculpture that combines water, Perspex and light to evoke the movement of light particles. Lijn’s kinetic artworks stem from her interest in the relationship between art and science. Like Turner, she applies an imaginative approach to the physics of light and matter. This sculpture is the result of five years of experimentation. Lijn’s aim was to capture light and ‘keep it alive’ within a sculpture. The rotating balls can be seen as moving lenses, projecting an array of reflections and shadows across the room.

Liquid Reflections is one of several modern and contemporary artworks displayed adjacent to historical works in this exhibition. Their inclusion highlights artists’ common interest in light across time and the diverse ways this theme has been explored.

《液体反射》是一件将水、有机玻璃和光结合为一体的复杂动态雕塑，让人联想到光粒子的运动。莉莲的动态艺术作品源自她对艺术与科学之间关系的探究。与透纳一样，她将一种富有想象力的方法应用于光和物质的相互作用。这件雕塑历经五年的反复实验，旨在捕捉光线，并在雕塑中“保持光的活力”。滚动的球体相当于移动的透镜，在房间内投射出一系列反射和阴影。

《液体反射》是本次展览中与经典作品相邻展出的几件现代和当代艺术作品之一。展览也想借此突显不同时代的艺术家对光的共同兴趣，以及他们对这一主题不同的探索方式。
