Olafur Eliasson, born of Icelandic parents in Copenhagen in 1967, is world famous for his projects and installations in museums and urban space. Classified as “experimental set-ups” by the artist, his work ranges from photography, film and installation to sculpture and architectural projects. The materials Eliasson works with include light, colour and such phenomena of nature as fog and water. His experiments aim to give us insights into how physical movement, sensory impressions and the interplay between the latter and neurological processing influence our perception of the world.

Sua fogueira cósmica (Your cosmic campfire), 2011, is a dynamic light installation created by means of a specially constructed lamp, reminiscent of a lighthouse lantern, mounted on a tripod in the centre of a darkened space. The brightly lit visitors become performers, their outsized shadows cast onto the walls, into the colour fields. At the same time, the slowly evolving hues of the projection allow the viewers to observe and examine the mechanisms of colour perception, a recurrent topic in the artist’s work.
