Provenance:

The perception and specularity of light in its boundless forms is of central importance to Mack's artistic understanding. In the mid-1950s he began to develop objects in which light not only showed itself, but also settled immediately in its pure form. By using iridescent, translucent, and light-sensitive materials such as polished or corrugated metal, plexiglass, and mirror glass and embedding them in various basic geometric shapes, he allowed the materials to open up to space, to individually absorb the colours of their surroundings, to reflect them and ultimately to vibrate.
The poetically-named light screen The sea, created in 1972, mobilises light reflection through the cell-like wave structure of the tightly-drawn fine-meshed aluminium grid and shines in infinite variations depending on the time of day and the incidence of light. From an almost transparent-glassy appearance to a dense golden-silver cluster structure, a dancing carpet of light is evoked in the mind's eye above the gently moving spray of endless ocean waves.
"I no longer saw [...] the metal relief, but instead a shimmering, vibrating grid structure of light, and this structure seemed to hover above the metal relief."
