«Umbra is about the light that is in the soft shadow. In a lunar eclipse, you have the soft light as opposed to the very strong light that you saw reflected off the moon. This is a kind of light that is very soft and filling that I love. If you are looking at this piece, it is not about the light that surrounds the edge, it is the large expanse or panorama of this very soft light that actually comes from the reflection in the room.» James Turrell
Swarovski is proud to announce that James Turrell has accepted an invitation to create a Shallow Space installation at Swarovski Kristallwelten (Swarovski Crystal Worlds), the brand’s destination in Wattens, Austria. His installation, «Umbra», adds a luminous facet to the Chambers of Wonder at Swarovski Crystal Worlds which also feature works by Yayoi Kusama and Lee Bul.
