Olafur Eliasson

Olar Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist whose key speciality is the use of natural elements in his installations.

I discovered his work while visiting the Grand Palais in Paris during the Dynamo project, for which he contributed an installation based on light and air.

One of his most impressive works was the Weather Project at the Tate Modern Museum in 2003, where a giant yellow-lighted disc and mist were used to create the impression of a cool dusk.
