Abstract
This text revolves around the use of led lighting in art. After reviewing the existing literature on the matter, we found that a large majority focus mainly on technical aspects regarding lighting works of art in exhibition spaces. The approaches related to the correct lighting of the exhibited works, energy-saving, or preventive conservation stand out. However, we have not found many case studies which analyzed the structural implications of led lighting in the restoration of artworks. For this reason, after presenting the current state of led lighting in exhibition spaces, we highlight and critically analyze the restoration process of The belly of the observer (Threshold of attention) (Afterimages) (2011) by Darío Urzay. Finally, we propose and describe, by way of conclusion, a research-creation process initiated as a result of such analysis.
