During the Equinox, the plane of Earth's equator passes through the geometric centre of the Sun's disk. In this celestial alignment, the Earth's poles tilt neither toward nor away from the Sun. On the equator, the sun rises exactly due east and sets exactly due west. Only on the Equinox is a 12 hour day and a 12 hour night shared everywhere on Earth. Observing the Equinox is a call to (re)turn one's attention to the exactness of the present and offers a duty to observe our present condition. This exhibition continues a series of conversations that were held during the northward and southward Equinoxes of 2021 and 2022. Participants from all over the world met at these times to discuss notions of time and duration.
The 2022 southward (vernal) Equinox is at 1:03pm (NZST) on Friday the 23rd September.
This project falls on the exact 50-year spring equinox anniversary of Phil Dadson's Earthworks (1971-2) which was documented as the video 'Earthworks' Represents a Temporary Instant in the Continuum of Universal Ebb and Flow.
This project was organised by Eamon Edmundson-Wells, Chris Braddock, and Ziggy Lever. Photos by Mon Redmond, Chris Braddock, Ziggy Lever, and Fiona Williams (Polaroids).
