Osiris (experimental study of the speed of light)

Osiris (experimental study of the speed of light), 1999, 180x180cm, egg tempera on canvas.

Repetition of the composition of ‘81. A light ray reflects off the sixteen points on the circumference of a square. The speed of light is tested by letting the ray into the box. The ray reflects off the mirrors in accordance with the established road within the specified time so many times that by substituting the known values in the formula v = s / t we obtain (experimentally) the result.
