SOPHIE DIA PEGRUM has just returned from Antarctica where she filmed artist Lita Albuquerque. She is creating a documentary of the experience - pictures & small quicktime samples can be seen online: Stellar Axis
On December 22nd, 2006, after a week of installing the Stellar Map on the Ross Ice Shelf, Lita Albuquerque conducted a performance using an Archimedian Spiral, and 51 volunteers from the McMurdo base. Starting at the center, the participants walked out along the spiral arms to the boundary of the installation taking 10 minutes to complete the journey. The star map around which they spiraled mirrored the sky above on the Southern Hemisphere's Summer Solstice.
