A Solar-Powered Poem

January 1, 2009

Let’s start the year with a piece of wonderful creativity.  An artist by name of Jiyeong Song has created a small pavilion of perforated sheets that permits the sun to “write” different poems throughout the day and the year.  You’ll be needing a picture or two after that description!

As Apartment Therapy said:

“The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice.”

Unfortunately the links direct to the artist seem to be broken, so I cannot discover where this is.   But I sure love the unique idea.
