Life World
Olafur Eliasson’s concepts repeatedly address the question of how we deal with the world. Now he is showing blurred abstractions on huge screens. Eliasson means that this blurred fuzziness is absolutely precise, because as an abstraction it is a truthful representation of the present time and connects us with our feelings.
Lifeworld is an invitation to reflect on who we are and where we live. The images throw you back to your own sense of space and time. The fast-running circulation of real life and information on the internet dissolves completely in the gentle, slow, blurred perspectives.
- “In the ‘not-blurred’ world, we are being told, to a large extent, what to think: buy this car, live like those people, subscribe to those values, then you’re happy. By contrast, the misty glow of whites, reds and purples against black represent something that is harder to extract, package up and sell.” Olafur Eliasson
