LET THERE BE LIGHT. This book brings together perspectives on James Turrell’s work as a nexus of disciplines. Today, Turrell’s work is of particular interest because it connects a wide spectrum of fields, including the natural sciences. In his prints, as in all his work, everything revolves around the phenomenon of light. Points of contact emerge with architecture, land art, astronomy, physics, geosciences, medicine, perception psychology and mysticism. This publication brings these perspectives together, based on the international conference at ETH Zürich in 2024. How do geoscientists respond to Turrell’s prints? What pictorial strategies does he deploy—and how do they relate to architecture and landscape architecture? /////|//////||||||//|\/////////////////////////|\\\\\\||/////|||||/||\\\\\\\\\\\|| James Turrell: Light In Space And Prints / Licht in Raum und Papier With contributions by Ulrike Gehring, Michael Grotzer, Gail Higginbottom, Florian Holzherr, Maria Kappel Blegvad, Linda Schädler, Reinhard Spieler, Lena Tacke, Philip Ursprung, Markus Vinzent, Heini Wernli, Peter Zumthor.
