What Is It?
Installed in the ancient Roman Forum, Peter Erskine's Secrets of the Sun is an example of his interactive Solar Spectrum Environmental Artwork. Utilizing the white light of the sun, Erskine manipulates the colors of the visible spectrum using a high-tech prism, pouring the resulting vibrant colors into interior spaces.

Arrays of interior mirrors direct the isolated colors to specific rooms, creating millions of slowly changing colors that articulate architectural details and surfaces. Visitors have the rare ability to walk inside a rainbow. They become living canvases as millions of changing colors flow across their bodies, mixing and creating colored shadows on the walls, floor and other visitors.

Erskine's presentation will also include his Solar Spectrum Art in the central stations of Rome and Milan, the new LAPD Headquarters and a healing shade garden in the California desert. Learn more @ www.erskinesolarart.net.
