Description
Taken at an exhibition at the weekend this is Katie Paterson’s commission at Somerset house (Totality: A new commission by the Arts Council), it's a mirror ball comprising images of nearly every solar eclipse that’s been documented by humankind; through drawings and since photography began, including the oldest solar eclipse drawings from hundreds of years ago, and the earliest 19th century photographs, to images from the most technological advanced telescopes now.

When you enter the room, you feel like the walls are moving one way, the mirror ball the other, and the lights reflected on the walls and floor are really disorientating, you almost feel like you are floating in the room!
