Who is afraid flower ball, 2006

A 160 cm-diameter sphere is deconstructed into a geometry of pentagonal stars with spotlights at their centres, flat one-sided triangular mirrors, and tubular fluorescent lights. At first sight, this is a seemingly chaotic arrangement of elements. However, as the sequence of different lights fades in and out, the underlying geometry becomes apparent.
