Olafur Eliasson - In Real Life - Grand Format

In the mid-typos Olafur Eliasson emerged onto the international art scene with striking installations involving projected light and recreations of natural phenomena. Over the following years he exhibited his work around the world, and in 2003 conceived The weather project for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. 'The Sun, as it came to be known, attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors and became the defining statement of his interest in shared experience.
Since then Eliasson has continued to develop his interests in perception and participation. He has invented a new model of art practice by initiating collaborations with choreographers, scientists, politicians, chefs, activists and architects. While motion, light, colour and geometry remain at the core of his practice, his work also addresses migraban, climate change and solar energy.
