Description: 10 metre high inverted glass spire rising from the seventh floor roof of the new Broadcasting House building. During the hours of darkness the cone is gently lit so that it glows. Every day, coinciding with the 10 o'clock news bulletin, a fine beam of light will project from its base approximately 900 metres into the night sky.
Inscription: Life turns and turns on the crystal glass/ breathing in our body/ silence is a voice, our voice/ silence is a body, our body/ life turns and turns on the crystal glass/ breathing in our body/ I invite you to breathe/ I invite you to listen to the silence
