Infinite Regress (2008)
Each Rainbow Must Contain the Chromatic Signature, it..., Magnus Müller Gallery, Berlin, Germany, 2008
Steel, aluminum, colored glass, infrared motion detectors | 3m x 3m x 2.8m
Neidich’s close relationship to Los Angeles and his interest in the works of the California Light and Space artists like James Turrell, Robert Irwin and Maria Nordman served as the inspiration for the large sculpture installed in the front of the gallery. Infinite Regress, 2008, is a three-sided pavilion, each side consisting of a 3m x 2,8m steel frame upon which ready-made automatic transparent glass sliding doors, like those found at airports and department stores, have been attached. Each door is tinted in one of the primary colors red, blue and yellow. The doors’ opening and closing is activated through the passing motion of visitors in the gallery whose presence stimulates an invisible eye in this case an infrared sensor.
