Description
Summary:A portrait of the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. The film introduces Eliasson's work and aesthetic theories as it documents one of his largest exhibitions ever, "Notion Motion", at the Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. An excursus examines Hans Richter and his abstract film "Rhythm 21" made in 1921. Since the early 1990s Olafur Eliasson (*1967), who grew up in Copenhagen, has built up an amazing œuvre consisting of rainbows, sunsets, waterfalls, scent walls, mist, shafts of light, and periscopes. His work navigates between natural phenomena and technology. Eliasson's work makes the spectator aware of his perception; it makes, as it were, the perception tangible.
