Description |
Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, this book is a comprehensive survey of works by the Scandinavian artist Olafur Eliasson. From kaleidoscopes to waterfalls to mirrored passageways, the projects invite the viewer's active participation while posing provocative questions about the workings of the human perception. Here, nearly 200 colour reproductions offer a rich visual survey of Eliasson's most significant works from 1990 to the present, while a series of original essays investigate the complex origins and implications of his practice, from the legacy of the Light and Space movement to the artist's recent forays into architectural design |
