In the fountain-lined courtyard of London's
Somerset House, "Kimchi and Chips: Halo" is made up of two
four-meter (13-ft) high towers and a 15-metre-long track bearing
100 motorized mirrors tracking the sun's movement, and water
jets.
Seoul-based artists Mimi Son and Elliot Woods say the mirrors
and mist will reflect the sun's rays, creating a halo shape in
the air.
"The work is supposed to collaborate with that anticipation of
sunshine ... (It) brings together different natural elements to
create this drawing that will hang inside the air," Woods told
Reuters in an interview.
"Using light from the sun and a set of robotic mirrors, we're
able to create beams of light in the air and we catch those in a
mist of water ... and each one of those beams becomes a line in
that mist and together they'll form a single circle."
The work is part of Kimchi and Chips' "Drawing in the Air"
project.
