The site-specific installation Portal of Light by Emilio Ferro explores the imagery of ancient Egypt, contemplating the themes of threshold—as a bridge between the world of the living and the dead—and of light as it relates to the sun worship deities such as Isis and Ra.

Inspired by two ancient papyri, the Book of the Dead and the Amduat (also known as the Book of the Hidden Chamber), Portal of Light follows the orientation of the cardinal points and the transformation of sunlight during the day. Two metal sculptures generate and expand a beam of light, following the perfect inclination of the three Pyramids of Giza.

During the night, spectators can enter the installation under the beam of light and follow its direction, taking part in an immersive adventure to experience the journey into the night sky on the boat of the god Ra, as illustrated in the ancient papyri.
