The Weather Project

London, october 2003 - 21 march 2004


"A giant semi-circular form made up of hundreds of mono-frequency lamps. The arc repeated in the mirror overhead produces a sphere of dazzling radiance linking the real space with the reflection"

half of the sun was made by lamps (the bottom one), the other was a reflection of the lamps on a huge mirror.

like a real sun... but artificial, recreated.

at that time I just moved to London from Brasil, and it was very strange to see people lying down and taking this artificial sun. I missed the real one and I felt sad for them, because you know northem weather...

(the artist is danish)

Hi Carolina,
Strange mood in your picture. I don't know the artist, but I understand, thanks to you, he succeeded in creating a particular light. I like your use of B&W and your general point of view in that so beautiful space to show us that event. Very well done.

Great shot, I love the turbine room in Tate Modern and the light it lets in. This is a great shot. It looks like a piece of modern art in itself - which fits nicely with the spirit of Tate Modern. Nicely rendered in B&W.

Fantastic shot! The only way I can describe this image is that it has some presence, like I am being there watching the scene. Beautiful B&W!!!

This is a classic, like from some old album of Grand Central Station in the 50's. There is smthng divine-like mood, set by the white light on top. I would gladly have this on the walls in my home. Excellent work of art!

Fotoğraf galerinize baktığımda, birbirinden güzel siyah-beyaz çalışmalarınızı gördü. Hepsi birbirinden güzel çalışmalar. Ancak, sizi yeni tandığım için son fotoğrafınızı değerlendirmeye aldım. Fotoğrafçılık yeteneğiniz beni etkiledi. Bundan sonraki fotoğraflarınızı itinayla takip edeceğim. Tebrikler.

Carolina - indeed very similar image to the one I took :-)) Funny I have not discovered your gallery yet, I like your stuff a lost.

ciao,
Cristian

Love this shot. Very similar to one GNC posted a while ago. Slightly different perspective and more ppl in yours. Excellent in B&W. Looks like something Orwellian to me.

TFS,
David

molto bella questa foto. Mi fà capire quanto gli esseri umani abbiano bisogno del calore ..del sole, e non solo. Ciao! A presto.

hello carolina,

Magnifique atmosphère dans cette image, et très beau noir et blanc.
Bonne soirée
