PROJECT: Say When
A desert walk through America’s barren Solar Energy Zones

April 11 - 27, 2022
10 Times Square Billboard, South East Corner of 41st Street and 7th Avenue

Say When is set throughout the United States’ Solar Energy Zones—250,000 acres of public land designated for solar infrastructure that is almost entirely unused. There, Segall walks through the desert landscape holding a mirror to the sky, personifying a heliostat, a centuries old technology that can be used to generate energy from the sun, to revive a dormant power plant. The billboard will screen 5 excerpt videos of 15 seconds adapted by Segall.
