Urban Light

"Urban Light" is a meticulously arranged grid of 202 street lamps, primarily sourced from the streets of Southern California, including Hollywood, Glendale, and Anaheim, with additional contributions from Portland, Oregon. The installation features a diverse collection of 16 distinct streetlight models, many of which were originally commissioned for specific neighborhoods and streets.

Notably, the Broadway Rose, the largest and most intricate model, is represented by six lamps, mirroring its presence in downtown Los Angeles. Some of these lamps can still be seen on Sixth Avenue between Olive and Flower Streets.

The sculpture includes glass globes in three main shapes: round, acorn, and cone. Illuminated by 309 solar-powered LED bulbs, the lamps light up from dusk until dawn, following a schedule set by an astronomical timer.
