Sun Stadium is a public artwork by Bundjalung/Ng膩puhi artist Amrita Hepi in collaboration with Wiradjuri artist Jazz Money, Sibling Architecture, Five Mile Radius, and Dialogue Office. Located at the University of Queensland鈥檚 St Lucia campus, the circular installation functions as both a gathering space and an interactive sundial. Inspired by choreography, the project explores movement, time, and spatial awareness in relation to the sun.
The design removes the traditional sundial gnomon, allowing users to cast their own shadow on the ground surface. Jazz Money鈥檚 inscribed palindromic poem links the passage of time with language rather than numbers. Five Mile Radius developed custom materiality from refuse, and Dialogue Office provided project coordination.
Sun Stadium transforms the landscape into a site for reflection, interaction, and everyday exchange, encouraging engagement with time and place. The work鈥檚 presence invites the university community to gather, move, and experience the shifting rhythms of the sun.
