The Californian artist James Turrell has used natural stone Tino Stone Group to light her newly released book 'Second wind', which some weeks is part of the permanent collection of the Foundation for Contemporary Art Montenmedio in Vejer de la Frontera, Cadiz.

Overall, the work consists about 400 square meters of travertine stone antico red, and graphite in two textures: metal and sandblasted domus, honed basalt. The work consists of an empty pyramid, made of carved stone in the interior of a natural hill which is reached through a tunnel. Inside, surrounded by a small pool, there is a stupa, built to contain Buddhist relics, Tino basalt covered with an opening in the roof that allows us to contemplate the sky, the soul of the piece.

Therein lies the historic importance of Turrell's work: his ability to dig deeper into how we live in light, and its ability for the viewer to be considered in contemplating the work itself. More than indoctrinated with what he has discovered, James Turrell wants to give the viewer into the heart of his work to complete it with their participation. Thus, this architect of light provides a visual journey through the different lighting states, a show that has its greatest value at sunset, the ideal time to enjoy 'Second Wind 2005'.

James Turrell describes himself as a sculptor of light, with works that deliberately seeks to involve the viewer in the end. The result is subjective, depending on individual experience that each visitor can feel. The most important work is Turrell's Roden Crater project in Arizona, the extinct volcano within the farm where he lives and is becoming laboratory.
