Fall down the rabbit hole and take a walk on the wild side in Olafur Eliasson’s world of psychaledic prisms and dreams. An “Alice in Wonderland” fantasized-like experience of kaleiscope and colorful imagination, testing all your senses. A magical sight of both light and darkness.
His carefully constructed umbrella of mirrors resemble a mysterious and complicated visual spider’s web. A beautiful complexity hard to resist visiting and walking through. Face forward and step. Look up, look down, to your sides and digest the vivid dream that surrounds you. Relax your eyes and allow light to enter your pupils. The tunnels he creates are made out of various pieces and sizes of glass. Walking through must be something like sitting on a rainbow.
Turning around sends you back into the depths of black, as the glass pieces lose their color—showcasing another dimension…. onyx city. His work encourages you to walk through to the other side. Standing dead center might feel like a cross road. A contemplation. A decision. Should I stay? Should I go? Should I continue forward? Should I go back? A moment of mindful reflection stirring up emotion.
