Description: The artist developed a sequence of spatial experiments for this exhibition. His piece challenges visitors to move around and get their bearings, and stimulates them to see the museum as a public space for addressing art and reality critically. The installations were developed especially for the exhibition. Olafur Eliasson does not work only in the museum galleries, but also in the corridors in between and the adjacent courtyards, thus linking the indoor and outdoor areas closely and examining this museum's unique qualities. An essay by art historian Eve Blau interprets the exhibition in relation to its surroundings.
