Artist Research week 7 - Olafur Eliasson







Olafur Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist known for sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light, water, and air temperature to enhance the viewer’s experience.


These  3 photos are one of his many projects, Your Rainbow Panorama. Olafur created a giant panorama of colour that people are welcome to walk around in, This was made up of multipule lights and slightly coloured glass.


Another project Olafur took on was The Weather Project (last photo) used humidifiers to create a fine mist in the air via a mixture of sugar and water, as well as a circular disc made up of hundreds of monochromatic lamps which radiated yellow light. The ceiling of the hall was covered with a huge mirror, in which visitors could see themselves as tiny black shadows against a mass of orange light.
