Vera Molnar / Lumière sous les portes

In Vera Molnar's creative system, chance plays an essential role. Lumière sous les portes is the most obvious example. Surprised every evening by the play of light in the corridor beneath the door of her studio, the artist amused herself by recording them, seeing in these spots of light on the floor extraordinary geometric variations. These circumstantial typologies were then transferred to a long strip of tape, becoming an enigmatic record of the tribulations of light on the threshold of night. With this gesture, Vera Molnar applies her principle of tiling the dazzling images that reality continuously offers.
