For the eclipse of the sun on 11th August 1999, James Turrell conceived two perceptual spaces in the extreme south-west of Cornwall: a Skyspace with the title The Elliptic Ecliptic, which he constructed on a slope opposite St. Michael's Mount, and the Shallow Space Construction in Newlyn Art Gallery, which he named Arcus. This book includes photos by Turrell that document the temporary work. The book is accompanied by a CD specially recorded for the project with compositions by Paul Schütze. This copy from the deluxe edition limited to 100 copies (+ 10 roman numeral copies + 10 artist’ proof sets). This one of the 10 roman numeral copies, signed in pen by Turrell on the colophon sheet pasted to inside lid of the box. These deluxe copies contain two original prints by Turrell, bound in at the rear of the book - one aquatint signed in pencil, and one etching taken from a 1636 woodcut (inscribed with date in pencil '1636' in margin). Also included are two separate folders, each containing a photogravure by the photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper. These two gravures are each numbered from an edition of 100, and dated and signed by Cooper in pencil. A third folder contains the CD with compositions by Paul Schütze.
