Olafur Eliasson: The Weather Project

Olafur Eliasson has established an international reputation for works that suggest evocations of nature — from fog-filled rooms to rainbows — which, combined with modern technology, produce situations of sublime beauty. His practice explores human perception and subjectivity, and the boundaries between nature and culture. In this book, Eliasson takes the ubiquitous subject of the weather as a point of departure, examining ideas of representation, mediation and the temporal qualities of space, a process that culminates in his extraordinary installation in Tate Modern.
