As one of the leading artists of kinetic art and op-art, it has been one of Adolf Luther's artistic quests to make the invisible visible in order to understand a reality, which is evading the depictive representation. At the beginning of the 1960s Luther left the classic way of painting and instead used light, the immediate factor of design, as his primary artistic medium. During this period he created light tunnels, convex mirror and lens objects.
