CORONA - BLACK HOLE SUN

The installation 'Corona – Black Hole Sun' is a re-creation of the recognizable corona that occurs during a solar eclipse. The rare experience of the life-giving sun standing like a black silhouette, but with a sharp and vibrating ring of light rays around it. A gloomy feeling that our entire basis of existence has been put out of play for a short while, but also a rare and amazing experience that heralds the return of light.

The passer-by sees how the light radiates from the dark center, and illustrates the familiar form of pure energy. The installation intends to recapture the name Corona, and anchor it in the optimism of the sun, rather than the heavy blanket of deprivation that the name has in these times laid all over the world. The work aims to instill hope and provide a luminous experience, in the middle of winter darkness. 

Corona – Black Hole Sun is designed by Kollision and controlled by our MAP player. The installation is developed in cooperation with LiteNordic Spaces, Martin Professional and Copenhagen Light Festival. Corona – Black Hole Sun is to be found at the front of Nordatlantens Brygge, Strandgade 91, Copenhagen, from Friday the 5th of February until the 27th og February. All days from 5pm until 10.30pm.
