Kinematische Scheibe 33 (Cinematic Disc 33), 1966

Wolfgang Ludwig

Originally focused on colored phenomena, from 1963 he concentrated on his group of works of cinematic disks. He eliminated all colors and reduced his works to black and white. He constructed and painted circular, radial systems with even rays in black on a white background or vice versa. With these disc constructions, Ludwig searched for possibilities to "stress" the perception of the viewer, as he put it himself. Although the structures are purely static, the systems seem to start rotating slowly after a few seconds of looking at them. This rotation seems to happen clockwise and swing back in a counter-rotation. An affliction of his hand put a premature end to his creative work.
