(Austerlitz<\/em> \/ W. G. Sebald, 2001) <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Your Sun Machine<\/em> Olafur Eliasson created a \u201ccosmological\u201d installation with the simplest of means. It is a work about the relationship between sun and earth. His contribution is nothing but a hole in the roof of the Californian gallery where the work was presented. Above, the sun blazes, creating a vibrantly hot patch of light on the gallery floor. If you concentrate on the patch, you can actually see the sun moving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Until you remember something you learned in school: the reason that the light of this heavenly body creeps across the floor is that you and your own little planet are tearing across the universe at an unimaginable speed. Or had you forgotten that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We tend to forget certain basic things. Here Comes the Sun<\/em> is an exhibition about cosmology, time, and our most prominent celestial body. Francis Al\u00ffs\u2019 work, Zocalo<\/em>, is a further example that reminds us of certain fundamental cosmic facts. A flag that stands at the center of the huge square in Mexico City casts a shadow that attracts the people who try to escape the relentless light that falls onto the plaza. Thus, a large solar clock is created with human figures as an element. This is an artwork about the Mexican sun, about the movement of planet Earth through space, and about social life in the Mexican capital.
