Following on from his installations Museum Of The Moon and Gaia, Bristol-based artist Luke Jerram has brought Helios to the region. 

The stunning artwork measures seven metres in diameter and features detailed imagery of the Sun’s surface. 

The installation is a fusion of solar imagery, animated lighting and a specially created surround-sound composition by Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson.

“It’s quite a challenge to try and capture the scale and power of the sun through a piece of music,” says Duncan. “For Helios, we took many different approaches and collated them into one long composition. The piece moves through a series of different expressions of the sun itself, as well as its relationship with us and our planet, shifting back and forth from a human perspective to a planetary one.”
