Lucin
Sun Tunnels
Box Elder County, Utah
Sumbitted by Moritz von Rechenberg
Salt Lake City, UT
The Sun Tunnels near Lucin in western Utah are an art project by Nancy Holt, the wife of Robert Smithson who created the spiral jetty near Promontory Point. They consist of four giant concrete tubes laid out in an x-configuration. The tubes are arranged in such a way that the sun rises and sets through them during summer and winter solstice. In addition there are holes cut into the tubes that represent certain celestial constellations.
