James Turrell introduces his latest shrine to light, 'Tha Khut Skyspace,' at Posada Ayana.
, the small seaside community largely populated by weekend visitors from neighboring Argentina. Bleary-eyed, I find myself alongside a handful of people filing into a large pyramid-shaped structure called Ta Khut, or “The Light” in early Egyptian. Its exterior is concealed by grass and plants, and instead of a sharp point, its apex is punctuated by a white sphere, crafted using some 42 tons of small marble bricks.
With the possibility of in-person collaboration hampered by the pandemic, Turrell and the Kofler family set out on the year-long task of building the Ta Khut Skyspace via video conference, obsessively checking and re-checking every specification provided by Turrell’s architectural team, based in the reclusive 82-year-old artist's hometown of Flagstaff, Arizona.
Ta Khut ultimately made its grand debut to the public on November 20th, with 150 guests flocking to the property from around the world for the occasion. They ranged from avid collectors of Turrell’s work to local winemakers and artisans to the trio of students who had been selected to design the surrounding landscape comprised entirely of indigenous plant life. Throughout the evening, guests made their way into the Skyspace for a brief moment of stillness in the midst of the festivities.
