James Turrell

Light as architecture

James Turrell is an American artist associated with the Light and Space movement. His installations use projected light, architectural framing, and controlled darkness to transform perception. Skyspaces, Ganzfelds, and ongoing works like Roden Crater turn light into inhabitable form.

Turrell’s practice explores the psychology of seeing—how the eye and mind construct space from light alone.
