Mary Lucier, Dawn Burn, 1975/1993

An installation view of artist Mary Lucier’s 1975/1993 artwork “Dawn Burn” from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2004. The artwork comprises a seven-channel video installation without sound and a single slide projection. The video is displayed on 7 blue screens of ascending size set into a large, curved black structure roughly 7 feet tall. Above the black structure, a wall-mounted projector casts a yellow-tinted image across the length of the far wall. In the right corner of the room, under the projector, is the outline of a doorway. The walls of the room are white and the floors are light-colored wood.
