“Light & Time”: Daniel Arsham and Hublot create a snow and ice sundial at the Matterhorn

"Light & Time" : Daniel Arsham et Hublot créent un cadran solaire en neige et en glace au Matterhorn - HYTRAPE

American artist Daniel Arsham has once again impressed with his latest art project in collaboration with the famous Swiss watch brand Hublot. Together, they have created a sundial installation made of snow and ice at the foot of the Matterhorn, one of the most iconic mountains in the Swiss Alps.

Titled “Light & Time,” the artwork is a perfect example of the fusion between contemporary art and fine watchmaking. The sundial itself is a 20-meter-wide snow sculpture, featuring a set of six arches around its edges, and a pure white obelisk in the center. Inside the arches, blocks of ice sculpted by Arsham himself add a little more charm to the installation.

This one-of-a-kind artwork represents a unique convergence of timekeeping and earth art. It was designed to provoke thought about how nature itself can be used to create incredible and unique works of art. The installation is located in the heart of the famous ski resort of Zermatt, Switzerland, and is accessible to visitors all day long.

Daniel Arsham and Hublot’s partnership has already resulted in many other innovative projects, which promise to revolutionize contemporary art in the years to come. Fans of the artist’s work can expect to see many more exciting projects in development as the collaboration continues.
