Weather, Light and Water: Olafur Eliasson at Tate Modern

The Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson turns natural phenomena into art you walk through. Tate Modern's 2019 survey 'In Real Life' filled its galleries with fog-filled tunnels, walls of moss, cascades of light and shimmering reflections.

Famous for filling the Turbine Hall with a glowing artificial sun back in 2003, Eliasson makes work that heightens our awareness of perception, weather and our place in a fragile environment.

Playful yet urgent, his installations doubled as a quiet call to attention — inviting visitors to notice the light, water and air we usually take for granted.
