fényjáték

Fényjáték is a Hungarian term that translates to "light play" or "play of light." It refers to the visual effect created by the interplay of light and shadow, often in a dynamic or changing manner. This can encompass a wide range of phenomena, from natural occurrences to artistic installations.

In nature, fénjjáték can be observed in the way sunlight filters through leaves, creating dappled patterns on the ground, or in the shimmering reflections on water surfaces. The atmospheric effects of rainbows, auroras, and sunbeams piercing through clouds are also forms of fénjjáték.

In art and design, fénjjáték is a deliberate technique used to create visual interest and evoke emotion. Architects might use it to highlight the textures of materials or to guide the viewer's eye through a space. Artists employ fénjjáték in paintings and sculptures to add depth, dimension, and a sense of movement. Light installations, a contemporary form of art, explicitly focus on manipulating light and shadow to create immersive and often ephemeral experiences for the viewer. The concept emphasizes the aesthetic and sensory qualities of light itself, rather than the objects that produce or are illuminated by it.
