The work is located in one of the light-wells. The sculptural structure channels the light from above down through the various floors while functioning as a light source in its own right during the winter months. The work has a solid cone shape; it is six meters in height and hangs just beneath the glass roof. Reaching down three floors, it has a membrane that registers and collects light. During overcast weather, it stands out brighter than its surroundings. On sunlit days the light and shadows change with the passage of the sun, while prisms cast rainbows on the structure’s surface.
