2.4 James Turrell

In this episode, Jordan explains a past paper she wrote for an Islamic art seminar and how it changed her understanding of the contemporary American artist James Turrell. Using light as an artistic material, Turrell activates the viewers' sensorial experiences within his installations, asking them to consider their ability to perceive the world around them and how to interact with the natural and constructed environment. Maria and Jordan also recount a similar perceptual experience with a work they saw in Denmark.
