Sun Dance
Site-specific, rainbow light installation made from Sunlight, prisms, and the mall's two story courtyard
Using a 35,000 watt heliostat solar tracking mirror, a roof top periscope and four 8' x 8' flat solar prisms, Peter Erskine's site-specific, SUNDANCE installation transforms ordinary Sunlight into giant solar spectrum beams, bathing the two story courtyard in breathtaking beauty. Five 8' x 12' mirrors suspended from the mall ceiling mix the rainbow colors in to millions of new hues on the the escalators and the floor below. When visitors step into the space they change the art with multi-colored images of their own bodies. (Please see video below.)
