Primal Rhythm (2011) is a two-part work conceived in 2007 by Mariko Mori: Sun Pillar and the upcoming Moon Stone will honor the ocean and pristine coral reef at Seven Light Bay in Miyako City’s Karimata district in Okinawa, Japan. Sun Pillar is an installation on a rock promontory in the bay that reflects the colors of the sea and sky. Moon Stone, a translucent sphere, will float in the bay and change colors throughout the day in concert with the tide, which is determined by the position of the moon, uniting the celestial with the terrestrial.
On the winter solstice, Sun Pillar will cast its shadow directly down on Moon Stone, like a sundial, and connect the two installations in the sea, serving as a ceremonial emblem of eternal rebirth for all living things. Primal Rhythm was gifted to Gaia Art Association to promote art and culture on Miyako Island.
Sun Pillar II commemorates Primal Rhythm.
