    About The Work

    This edition, the title of which comes from the French poet Paul Valéry, is a montage of imagery tracing the themes of Nicholas Mangan’s exhibition Ancient Lights. The arrangement of images on the wall is evocative of the space in the artist studio and the accumulative and decision making process of producing the films that are part of the exhibition.

    Ancient Lights explores connections between the Aztec Sun Stone, rediscovered at Zócalo, Mexico City where it was buried following the Spanish Conquest, the concentric mirrors of the Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant in Southern Spain, and pioneering advances in dendrochronology carried out by A. E. Douglass at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona. In one film, Mangan brings together footage shot on location in Spain and Arizona with audiovisual data gathered by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory project. This work positions the sun at the center of a series of cyclic systems, both geophysical and cultural.
