Full Description

Since the nineties, Olafur Eliasson has been exploring cognitive and physical phenomena from the natural sciences and nature. He uses both technically sophisticated equipment and deceptively simple means such as water or light to create artificial landscapes and moments or perception which let viewers perceive or re-enact natural phenomena. Their strongly atmospheric but entirely constructed nature makes viewers become painfully conscious of how far modern civilisation has progressed from immediate experience, questioning the acceptance of authenticity in the area of perception. This publication, conceived in co-operation with the artist, features a series of landscape photographs by Eliasson from his native Iceland, exploring the limits of and conventions of our traditional view of landscape. They show that our perception of nature has been fundamentally affected by cultural influences, memories and expectations.
