Me and some university friends visited the Olafur Eliasson exhibition at the Tate Modern in London in October last year. His works captured indescribable atmospheres that used a manipulation of light to generate these ethereal reactions.
Eliasson’s work completely engaged the user, who’s response and perspective of his work would generate the art itself. My particular favourite was a long room with soft bright lights which was filled with fog. the fog removed any perspective points and so you were unable to know which direction you were going or where the walls and floors stopped and started, leaving you in a floating-like state. In theory this sounds frightening but due to the peaceful nature of the lights and soft sounds of peoples footprints it was actually very relaxing. – Emily James
