Description
The Durational Light Project, by artist Geoff Robinson, is an installation investigating the city's relationship to the sun and time. Utilising reflective light panels, it charts the duration of direct sunlight in the laneway through the movement of reflected light.
While transient by nature, this project extends the presence of the sun within the crevices of the urban environment and aims to provoke an awareness of peoples' immediate surrounds in relation to time and natural phenomena.
The Laneway Commissions were conceived as an ongoing opportunity for artists to contribute to the interpretation of the urban environment. Now entering their seventh season, these commissions are a well recognised and much discussed aspect of city life for residents, workers and visitors. A series of site-specific projects across the central city, the Laneway Commissions engage deeply with Melbourne's distinct laneway topography.
