I Want to Know
I.R. Bach

I.R. Bach worked with mirrors, optics, and other surveillance technology to pursue a work that both examines and mimics a mysterious encounter the artist experienced while camping in a mountain range in Mexico. Visitors to LACMA had the opportunity to view a light drawing composed of three points of light emanating from a distant mountain. The project is called I Want to Know.
