Penumbra

Overview

Penumbra is a striking geometric presence in the desert landscape. During daylight, it stands as a wooden monolith, its skeletal form inviting exploration. As the sun sets, it undergoes a mesmerizing transformation. The central light within the tower becomes a beacon, casting dynamic shadows upon the desert floor, creating a poetic dance of light and dark. Participants can control the height of the light with a wheel, making it an ever-evolving spectacle that beckons all to engage, climb, sit, and converse. 

Penumbra is supported in part by a grant from Burning Man Project, but we need your help to get across the finish line!
