For over 25 years, Olafur Eliasson’s work has explored perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self. Art, for him, is a crucial means for turning thinking into doing in the world. Eliasson's diverse works – including sculpture, painting, photography, film, and installations – have been exhibited widely throughout the world. Beyond the museum and gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through architectural projects and interventions in civic space. Eliasson’s art invites viewers to explore future forms of coexistence by welcoming multiple perspectives – human and non-human alike. For his solo show at the Fondation Beyeler, the artist immerses the museum in a border-crossing investigation of our preconceptions of nature and culture.
