Enjoy it while visiting Houston in Texas
James Turrell, an American artist, has created an art installation at Rice University that focuses on light, space, and the sky. Called Twilight Epiphany Skyscape, this installation enhances our perception of the morning and evening sky by using delicate light that fades on and off during sunrise and sunset. Erected in 2012, it is one of Turrell’s largest works. The installation features architectural elements and additional colored light sources. Visitors can experience the play of light and color through a square opening in an angular roof, which resembles a camera’s aperture. This unique experience occurs twice daily.
The sunset experience was highly appreciated by recent visitors. They found it particularly enjoyable as it offered a soothing conclusion to their day. To enhance the experience, some visitors recommended bringing headphones along to listen to music while watching the captivating light sequence. This mesmerizing display lasts for approximately 40 minutes.
