Elyn Zimmerman’s massive sculpture once known as Marabar has finally settled into its new home on American University’s campus, where it has been renamed Sudama.
The artist first learned that she’d need to relocate the granite boulders in 2017. A letter from NatGeo explained that its renovation plans for a new entry and events space required their removal but the society wanted to give her the chance to recover them first.
In March 2020, the Cultural Landscape Foundation, calling the installation “a source of delight to all who discover the celebrated work,” stepped in to help preserve the artwork. Aside from the costly logistics of transporting hundreds of tons of stone across town, which National Geographic paid for, there was the question of how the new location would alter the way the five boulders interacted with the landscape.The installation, previously known as Marabar, at its former location on NatGeo’s campus.

The mammoth boulders now hug a crescent-shaped pool outside the university’s Kay Spiritual Life Center, where, in contrast to their previous downtown setting, they are surrounded by landscaped greens that include cherry trees and flowers.—were positioned slightly differently around the new pool,” Zimmerman said in her interview with the foundation.
