Andy,
It's a large room about 200 feet long with the art on opposite walls.
The person standing could be looking at the opposite wall, but he's
probably watching the people in the room (about 50 or so behind me and
to my right), as he's a guard. This was a lecture by the curator and
the museum director and dealt with the problems of maintaining this
type of art, as the industrial components from which it was made a
decade or so ago won't be available forever. If there hadn't been a
person silhouetted against the background, I wouldn't have submitted
the photo, as the juxtaposition of the two was what interested me.
One can't expect a lot as t's only a 2 megapixel camera!

Roger Eichhorn - "Light Art" by Dan Flavin
Very nice original light art piece. As for the photograph the
question is whether the person in the photograph should be looking
towards the light works or, as seen here away, from it.
