For Dia's 33rd commission in its series of Artists' Web Projects, Stockholm-based artist Cecilia Edefalk photographed an outdoor scene at V�steraspa, near Stj�rnholm, Sweden, over a full day near the summer solstice. This series of images will be turned into a time-lapse project for visitors to interact with to see how light alters the landscape, giving different dimensions to the scenery.
