Olafur Eliasson explains how his recently opened exhibition at London's Tate Modern prompts visitors to look at the world from a new perspective, in this exclusive video interview filmed by Dezeen.
Called In Real Life, the exhibition comprises around 40 works from the last 26 years of the Danish-Icelandic artist's career.
Eliasson hopes the show will challenge visitors' perception of reality - a common theme in his work.
"When one leaves an exhibition like mine, I hope that it's not as if you had stepped into some kind of dream machine and then you walk back out into reality," Eliasson says in the video. "I really hope that you step closer to reality and see things in higher granularity."
"I think that culture and art can ask questions, can entice and inspire you to evaluate things in a greater perspective," he added.
The works on show also reflect the artist's interest in colour theory, geometry, the environment and natural phenomena such as waterfalls.

It's the perfect link between concept and aesthetics, I feel it represents our time. I hope this exhibit comes to Berlin after .

I went to see it yesterday, a brilliant exhibition, Din Blinde Passager was the highlight for me. It's also nice to see lots of children really enjoying the experience as well.

I love Eliasson’s work. As he describes, it is very individualistic and plays with the senses and personal judgement.

When you experience Olafur's work you become a part of it. Reality is relative.

give him the title architect already, he is a legend

Why the title architect? He's already a well established artist. Basically what all architects - at least at some point of their lives - dream of being.

Hello! We are preparing for an architecture competition about the Han River in Seoul, so can we use the video for about 10 seconds? Thank you for the good video!

I hope you realize that many, if not most of these works were initially created before instagram existed. or at the very least before instagram influencing was a concept.

Wouldn't say so. Listening to him, you can see the passion he puts in his works. It may be ''fashionable'', but that's only because nowadays people believe those kinds of installations are ''cool''. Don't blame the artist, blame the audience, if you will. Since audience is what creates the art, as he said it.

1.We recognise oscillation to be the natural order of the world.2.We must liberate ourselves from the inertia resulting from a century of modernist ideological naivety and the cynical insincerity of its antonymous bastard child.3.Movement shall henceforth be enabled by way of an oscillation between positions, with diametrically opposed ideas operating like the pulsating polarities of a colossal electric machine, propelling the world into action.4.We acknowledge the limitations inherent to all movement and experience, and the futility of any attempt to transcend the boundaries set forth therein. The essential incompleteness of a system should necessitate an adherence, not in order to achieve a given end or be slaves to its course, but rather perchance to glimpse by proxy some hidden exteriority. Existence is enriched if we set about our task as if those limits might be exceeded, for such action unfolds the world.5.All things are caught within the irrevocable slide towards a state of maximum entropic dissemblance. Artistic creation is contingent upon the origination or revelation of difference therein. Affect at its zenith is the unmediated experience of difference in itself. It must be art’s role to explore the promise of its own paradoxical ambition by coaxing excess towards presence.6.The present is a symptom of the twin birth of immediacy and obsolescence. Today, we are nostalgists as much as we are futurists. The new technology enables the simultaneous experience and enactment of events from a multiplicity of positions. Far from signalling its demise, these emergent networks facilitate the democratisation of history, illuminating the forking paths along which its grand narratives may navigate the here and now.7.Just as science strives for poetic elegance, artists might assume a quest for truth. All information is grounds for knowledge, whether empirical or aphoristic, no matter its truth-value. We should embrace the scientific-poetic synthesis and informed naivety of a magical realism.
