H. Ulrich Obrist: When did you begin working with plastic? And how did this drastic transition come about?

C. Accardi: I began in ’65. The transition took place while working with fluorescent color: through the use of color, I produced light, and so I thought:

“Why not produce light with a material?” I found sicofoil, a clear and bright material. Other artists moved on to neon”.
