Made from lightweight fibres, 1.26 was named after one of the astonishing impacts of the 2010 Chilean earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
Such was the strength of the earthquake’s vibrations, it momentarily sped up the earth’s rotation and shortened the day by 1.26 microseconds. Using data sourced from NASA, Studio Echelman turned this phenomenon into a 3D image, the basis of which was used to create the shape of the sculpture.
