A dazzling, wind-driven sculpture takes over L.A.’s Pershing Square this week.

A Shimmering Mylar Wave Undulates Above Downtown LA.

Spanning 15,000 square feet, the installation Liquid Shard subtly sways above downtown Los Angeles’s Pershing Square, a glittering band of what appears to be silver streamers. The piece, by Patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics, is actually composed of holographic mylar and monofilament, the materials which give the work its reflective quality.
