One Day Poem Pavilion


Jiyeong Song created a solar-powered projector that speaks a poem over time. This extremely site-specific piece consists of a network of complex perforations. As the sun moves throughout the day, stanzas appear in the shadow of the structure and as seasons change, different poems are shown. The literature requires patience as only one stanza is revealed at a time as the day passes by. This transformation of typography in light and shadow beautifully displays the nature of the sun and exhibits the morphing qualities of our environment.
