‘Travelling sun’ to Iceland

It will not have escaped anybody’s notice that the sun is dissapearing fast with each day that passes.

But do not despair, art is coming to the rescue – in the form of a 3m-wide light sculpture by Norwegian artists Christine Istad and Lisa Pacini.

“For those of us living in the north the sun or lack of it has an immense impact on our lives,” read the Travelling SUN blog.

“Our aim with our art project is to bring light to the dark winter months in the north, meet people and share with the rest of the world the beauty of the unspoiled nature that is to be found in all of the Nordic countries.”

After travelling thousands of miles travelling around Norway and to destinations in the UK and the Netherland, the sculture is now on its way to warm up Iceland.

It will drive around Iceland before being installed on top of Reykavik’s Nordic House on Friday 16 October.
