The Weather Project , is a giant installation investing the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern (London, 2003-2004).
Danish artist who spent his childhood in Iceland, Olafur Eliasson offers facilities highlighting the natural phenomena. Far from imposing a sense of building complex seeking to dominate space, it establishes a physical dialogue between the facility and the audience, full participants.
arrived in the huge hall gray doubled again by the existence of a ceiling mirror over its entire surface, one hesitates between the temple of the sun, an intergalactic spaceship, and a huge ship in the fog . A mist created by a light smoke, cold, gives a certain unreality to the whole. A great sun, sometimes broken into his circle by the effects of juxtaposition of mirrors, which we imagine the next end, and a little murky glow, accented by the gray surrounding metal crush us in their immensity.
I thought about the universe of Enki Bilal, and lying on the ground like a large number of passersby, I took time to travel to this place so vast, where we had the sensation of walking in space, upside down ... in weightlessness, in another space-time.
Travel sidereal , or awareness of a world that ends?
The answer is up to each of us, nothing is imposed, and that's the beauty of this trip silent and opaque.
