fényfügg

Fényfügg is a term used in contemporary art and design to describe a family of installations and works that explore the phenomenology of light by suspending luminous elements within space. The concept emphasizes the perception of light as a physical, spatial actor rather than a mere source of illumination.

Formed from Hungarian fény ("light") and függ (to hang, to depend), the term signals both the physical act of hanging light sources and a dependence of perception on light.

Fényfügg works may combine LEDs, fiber optics, and reflective or translucent materials; they often deploy sensors or programmable lighting to create time-based sequences that respond to audience movement or ambient conditions.

In art criticism, the concept is associated with minimalism, phenomenology of perception, and the interrogation of indoor environments. It has been used in gallery installations, public art, and performances, where the interplay of light, space, and shadow questions the boundary between object and environment.
