Olafur Eliasson: Photographs
Description
Olafur Eliasson is known for his conceptual works based on architecture, science, and natural phenomena. Through his installations—composed of materials such as ice, water, light, and metallic crystalline structures—he generates a close connection between the phenomenology of things and their surroundings. His work, as he himself puts it, “questions the way we see and all the different systems of seeing.” The first survey of Eliasson’s photographs, this publication brings attention to an underrecognized aspect of his work and contextualizes it within the artist’s broader oeuvre as well as within the history of contemporary art.
