Árbol de Luz.
In Turrell’s own words, Árbol de Luz “is a place where people can gather, with intention, to share out of the ordinary experiences as well as celebrate de uniqueness of the space itself. That´s what we´re doing in Ochil; celebrating the connection with the waters below”. The cenote is set in the heart of San Pedro Ochil, an 18th century hacienda, serving originally as an active producer of henequen (sisal) in the Peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico. Today Árbol de Luz, hosts cultural events, and it is open for vistors to come live the Turrell experience every Friday.
Interesting Past Events:
- This past December, James Turrell honored us with a visit to his latest work of art in the Yucatán: Árbol de Luz, in the Cenote at Hacienda Ochil. His evening visit was a true gift, as those of us present, watched him reprogram and create a new symphony of lights to reflect upon the mysterious cenote and the amphitheater that houses it. Flowing colors now dance off different spaces, combining with the beautiful sounding magic coming from the nearby jungle. -Several groups of art lovers and experts have visited and enjoyed Arbol de Luz this year. TAE was honored to have received a visit from the World Monuments Fund from New York City and The Art Center from Pasadena, Ca.
