The incredible One Day Poem Pavilion installation by art student Jiyeon Song creatively uses the sun light to display a poem for 8 hours during the day.
The ingeniously crafted installation uses a "complex array of perforations, light passing through the pavilion's surface produces shifting patterns, which transform into the legible text of a poem."
The unique arrangement of the perforations reveals different poems depending on the solar calendar: "During summer solstice, the poem will contain the theme of “new lifeâ€. During winter solstice, the poem will be on “reflection and the passing of time.â€
According to Song, the poem can be seen between 8 AM and 4PM. Each poem line lasts about an hour.
