On Monday I went to the Guggenheim Museum to see the way James Turrell used light to showoff his style of art and it was great. I saw how this works and I see similarities between his work and The Cave of forgotten Dreams. But with similarities there are also differences between both arts.
The similarities are their, they both use lights to show off there work. While James use light from a source (sunlight). He used sunlight to show his work. Whenever light came through he would use that to create a room filled with light, which people just spend time looking up to. Were in The cave of forgotten dreams use the light from torches, the light from this torches make the art on the wall almost come to life. Almost like a story.
The difference between the both is clear. One uses drawings to showoff. While it great to be in a room were the light would change to different color's and it was a great place to just sit and stare, I rather be in the cave. (Too bad no one can enter it.) The way the art on the wall are shown is truly amazing. For them to have like that back then, just leaves me wondering on how they did that. With the drawings looking like that are moving, and all they added was a few extra body parts to show a animal walking (or give it life).
And this is all cause of the movement of light.
