The title 6.00 PM implies that the pattern at the centre of the carpet depicts the play of light and shadow cast through a window at six o’clock in the evening. But the carpet is always displayed in a windowless gallery and the image itself never changes. We can walk across and leave marks on the carpet, meaning we are unlikely to be tricked by the illusion. By fixing a particular moment of light, the work draws attention to connections between light and our perception of time.
