About Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels:
Built between 1973-76 in a remote valley of Utah’s Great Basin Desert, Nancy Holt’s massive Sun Tunnels looms along the horizon, visible from over a mile away. The four concrete structures are arranged in a cross formation, positioned precisely to frame the sun as it rises and sets during the summer and winter solstices. Small holes are configured in the concrete to cast projections of constellations along the tunnels’ interior; Draco, Perseus, Columba, and Capricorn materialize out of sunlight, their patterns illuminated upon the viewer inside. With Sun Tunnels, Holt brings the cosmos down to the earth and into the realm of human experience. Learn more
