In the early 2000s, Luc Tuymans focused on artificial light, produced by projectors, lamps, and televisions, as a subject. This edition, aptly or ironically titled Slide, is based on Tuymans’s series of paintings depicting a slide projection on the wall of his studio. Without an actual slide, all that is visible is the projector’s soft, milky area of light on the wall.
