Katie Paterson: Totality

Beautiful installation at Somerset House by Katie Paterson.

This was a small room with a revolving glitter ball in it throwing specks of light around the walls. When you read the commentary you realised the glitter ball was made up of images from every solar eclipse since 1778 using drawings and digital images. There were grouped by the phase of the eclipse they show. If you look very careful at the ball you can see these different tiny images.

I liked this as it worked as a beautiful thing and as an interesting concept.
