Edinburgh, 29 Market Street, The Fruitmarket Gallery

The Public Monuments and Sculpture Association (http://www.pmsa.org.uk/) set up a National Recording Project in 1997 with the aim of making a survey of public monuments and sculpture in Britain ranging from medieval monuments to the most contemporary works. Information from the Edinburgh project was added to the RCAHMS database in October 2010 and again in 2012.

The PMSA (Public Monuments and Sculpture Association) Edinburgh Sculpture Project has been supported by Eastern Photocolour, Edinburgh College of Art, the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust, Historic Scotland, the Hope Scott Trust, The Old Edinburgh Club, the Pilgrim Trust, the RCAHMS, and the Scottish Archive Network.

The two-part interactive light installation consists of a roof fin triangle of light, a light pavement and light detailing along the edges of the east and west roof. The work is inspired by the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, and reacts to the movements of passers-by. The pavement lights, small interactive lights set into the pavement immediately outside the gallery entrance, were installed later (March 2001) and are quite subtle, only really noticeable in winter.
