Anito (Sunset May 26, 2021) by James Clar Image: “This artwork reimagines Arturo Luz’s iconic sculpture, Anito, using 3D modeling to create a visual marker of time. Using online solar calculation tools, the precise arc of the Sun on May 26th, 2021—the day of Arturo Luz’s passing—was determined. Then the 3D model of Anito was positioned within rendering software to emulate the lighting conditions that occurred during the sunset on that significant day. The resultant render served as a foundation for the color filters used in illuminating the artwork with LED lights. Through this process, a snapshot of what the sculpture experienced that day, when its significance increased, is created.” - James Clar

James Clar’s poetic reflection on artworks as remnants of legacy is rendered through a light installation that mimics the way that light fell on Anito in PICC at sunset on the day Arturo Luz passed away. The solid modernist monument is transfigured into an ethereal play of light and shadow.
