Skywatching- Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels

Skywatching: Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels

0 out of 5

£7.00

In Utah’s Great Basin Desert four concrete tubes point in the four cardinal directions: Sun Tunnels. Simple in appearance, yet complex in execution, Sun Tunnels is a philosophical reflection on time and the cycle of nature. This talk will explore the different facets of this artwork to help us to rethink our modern conceptions ‘progress’ and ‘time’.

Nancy Holt was interested in exploring the relationship between nature and technology, and the Sun Tunnels represent her attempt to merge these two seemingly disparate worlds. The positioning of the tubes was carefully calculated to align with the movements of the sun and stars. The result is an artwork that blurs the boundaries between the natural and the man-made, inviting viewers to contemplate their place in the larger scheme of things.
