Light installations
During the 1970s George Smits received recognition (Jeune Peinture Belge) with his light installations The Colour Company, attempting to define space using light as his medium. He experiments with light beams, making the entire rainbow spectrum of colour visible, and having these reflect so as to define the respective space. For this, Smits employed simple means, like a slide projector, perforated slides, prisms, mirror mats and bamboo sticks.
