With « Perpetual (Tropical) Sunshine », the School of Art of Aix-en-Provence, switches hemispheres and offers heat and large sun. On a screen made up of 300 infra-red bulbs, the sun’s position is reproduced in real time thanks to the information transmitted by a weather station network located on the tropic of Capricorn. Spectators can thus permanently follow the sun race: an abstract form of a day and of an endless summer, around the world, through longitudes and time zones.
