  • OLAFUR ELIASSON

  • Olafur Eliasson describes his works and projects as “devices for the experience of reality” prompting a greater sense of awareness about the way we engage with world. Light installations, refracting spheres, rooms filled with fog and projections activated by acoustic vibrations all engage the viewer in exploring the limits of their perception, and discovering the world anew. Eliasson’s ongoing investigation into light, color, geometry and physics are rooted in a commitment to the environment — by challenging our experience of the world, he also challenges us to reconsider our relationship to the earth.
