As Joël Robic writes  the object is  really a  "sundial made by an 
artist but not validated by a sundialist”

A different image can be 
seen in 
http://www.east-harlem.com/mt/archives/000065.html   
 where 
the headline is the question  <Helio-Chronometer Art or Eyesore?”>

Moreover in  the project description is written :
< … the shadow path 
varies from the longest Summer arc, to the middle path representing 
both Spring and Fall and the briefest arc of the Winter Sun. Each of 
the three "Seasonal Arcs" are outlined on the wall in steel cable.>
The 
equinoctial line  is therefore replaced from the “middle arc” . …. :-)

A regard
