My Kinetic Artworks and Paintings (1971–1982)

Peter Sedgley, an English artist, who went to West Berlin in 1971 on an art grant and continues to work there, describes his work from 1971 to 1982. He points out the logical transition from the paintings he made in London to the kinetic artworks produced in Berlin, which involve beams of coloured light in motion. Among the kinetic works described are an outdoor installation involving the programmed projection of coloured light on walls, intercepted by passers-by who cast coloured shadows; an installation presenting projections on fabric sails; an audio-kinetic lightshow, and kinetic electric light objects that utilise dichroic filters to produce divergent beams of complementary colours. In conclusion, he presents a spray-paint picture to illustrate the type of work he is currently making.
