Inspired by the Renaissance practice of installing solar observatories within cathedrals, I drilled 10,000 small holes into the roof of an abandoned warehouse. Through each hole, an image of the sun was projected. As the sun arced across the sky, this constellation of images moved through the space – in the rafters, across the walls, along the floor, and over visitors. Their transit called attention to a time marked not by numbers but an experience of place.
