Phillip K Smith III's Quarter Mile Arc reflects sea and sky at Laguna Beach

由美国艺术家Phillip K Smith III安装的镜像弧线装置很好地反映了南加州景观的颜色，它们可以一天内不断地变化。
   
这个1/4英里长的弧线装置沿着Laguna海滩的海边小镇沙滩拉伸出一条柔和的曲线。

An arc of mirrored posts installed by American artist Phillip K Smith III reflected the colours of the Southern Californian landscape as they changed throughout the day.
The Quarter Mile Arc installation stretched in a gentle curve along the sand at the seaside town of Laguna Beach.
   

细柱覆盖了抛光的不锈钢，嵌入沙滩里，垂直竖立成一条直线。
   
每根柱子都几乎是成年人平均身高的两倍，它们均匀排布，在城镇和海洋之间形成一道屏障。

Clad in polished stainless steel, the thin posts were embedded into the beach so they stood vertically in a line.
Each measured almost twice the height of an average adult, and were spaced evenly to create a partial barrier between the town and the sea.
      

史密斯使用反光表面的滑动来反映景观，包括南加州闻名的柔和光线以及壮丽的日落景观。
     
艺术家说：“沿着海滩的主要部分，弧线在人造和自然世界之间形成了可见的标记，反映了海洋、天空和海岸线一整天的色彩变化。”

Smith used the slithers of reflective surfaces to mirror the landscape, as well as the soft light and dramatic sunsets that Southern California is famous for.
"Stretching along much of Main Beach, the arc forms a visible marker between the man-made and natural worlds, and reflects the changing colours of the ocean, sky, and shoreline throughout the day and night," said the artist.
     

从特定的角度看，这些排列的柱子联系起来可以形成一整幅画卷。
     
从上面看，投在沙滩上的阴影创造了像日晷一般的移动模式。

From certain angles, the posts lined up so viewers could witness a full wall of reflection.
Seen from above, the shadows cast onto the sand created shifting patterns like sundials.
     

“观众可能会从远处体验装置的效果，有利的位置均沿着悬崖和街道，并在海滩上闭合”，史密斯说道。
   
1/4英里的弧装置于2016年11月4日至6日进行安装，并作为拉古纳艺术博物馆艺术与自然计划的一部分。

"Viewers may experience 1/4 Mile Arc both from a distance, with vantage points all along the cliffs and street, and from close up on the beach," Smith said.
Quarter Mile Arc was installed from 4 to 6 November 2016, as part of the Laguna Art Museum's Art and Nature programme.
   

史密斯于1972年出生于洛杉矶，它的作品主要探索光线、颜色和对空间的感知。
   
他所设计的装置还包括覆盖反光带的小屋，部分反映Joshua树干旱的景观，以及Coachella节日的一套闪亮的长方体装置，从镜子转变为夜间发光的霓虹灯信标。

Born in Los Angeles in 1972, Smith explores perceptions of light, colour and space in his work.
Previous examples of his installations include a shack clad in reflective bands to partially reflect the arid landscape of Joshua Tree, and a set of shiny cuboids at Coachella festival that transformed from mirrors by day to glowing neon beacons by night.
