Larry Bell’s Time Machine Lets Viewers Feel Time
To create the effect for his work, Time Machine, Larry Bell exposed panes of glass to a vacuum process using a machine used previously in the film industry. The result is a piece of glass that is simultaneously transparent and reflective. Time Machine is both a study of light and a performance piece. Two viewers sit opposite each other with the pane of glass fixed in a “window” between them.
