'We have now on our planet the largest generation of children Earth has ever seen. Through Earth Speakr, they showed the states that they know what is happening and they know what needs to be washed.

'We humans are very familiar with the extraordinary importance of sunlight for all life on earth – after all, the path of the sunday shapes the very rhythm of life and provides orientation in our world. The globe's daily rotation and annual orbit brand the sun the natural clock for all living creatures on our planet.' – Olafur Eliasson

Olafur Eliasson explores where we are at present and how nosotros navigate – in our everyday lives and in the highly complex world of today. One thing is to inquire into our sense of presence; another is to consider where we are going and what the hereafter volition await like… There's only a slight chance of getting lost. Self-reflection and partial knowledge may accompany you.
Item of 'Unforgetting solar exposure', watercolour, 2020
In this moment, we are reminded of how crises of war, authoritarianism, neoliberalism, and climate are highly intersectional. Each crisis cannot exist tackled as a distinct challenge, they are all part of one movie.
In an article written in the first days of the war on Ukraine, Bill McKibben put forward an idea: 'One mode to dramatically reduce Putin's power is to get off oil and gas … So now is the moment to remind ourselves that, in the terminal decade, scientists and engineers accept dropped the cost of solar and windpower past an order of magnitude, to the indicate where it is some of the cheapest power on Earth. The all-time reason to deploy it immediately is to ward off the existential crisis that is climatic change, and the second best is to finish the killing of nine million people annually who die from breathing in the particulates that fossil fuel combustion produces. Just the third best reason – and perhaps the most plausible for rousing our leaders to action – is that information technology dramatically reduces the power of autocrats, dictators, and thugs.'
There is seemingly never a 'adept' time to address the complex bug associated with crunch. Merely, there is reason to promise that, in response to these emergencies, we can coordinate international political will to encourage a sharp plough towards renewables. Every bit Rebecca Solnit said, 'It is important to say what hope is not: it is not the belief that everything was, is or will be fine...The promise I am interested in is about broad perspectives with specific possibilities, ones that invite or demand that we act. You lot could call it an account of complexities and uncertainties, with openings.' Before a shift happens, information technology tin seem incommunicable; afterwards, it seems inevitable.

In 2009, Olafur Eliasson began a serial of circular paintings inspired by the idea of producing a new, comprehensive color theory that would comprise all the visible colours of the prism. He began by working with a colour chemist to mix in paint an exact tone for each nanometre of light in the spectrum, which ranges in frequency from approximately 390 to 700 nanometres. Since those initial experiments, Eliasson has branched out to make a large number of painted works on round canvases, known collectively equally the colour experiments. A number of these works take their palettes from other sources, from historical paintings by J. M. W. Turner or Caspar David Friedrich, for case. In the case of 'Colour experiment no. 108', the muted tones in the background were derived from the colours found in a photograph taken by the artist in Iceland in 2012. A formless multicolored explosion spreads out from the centre of the canvas, contrasting starkly with the polish, even background.

'The missing left brain', 2022, unfurls earlier the viewer as a constantly changing lightshow of shapes, colours, and shadows, created through the reflection and refraction of light. The symmetrical sequence develops and vanishes in a tiresome continuum upon a round screen that seems to hover in the space. The screen is in fact a semicircular screen affixed to a mirror, which creates the illusion of a full circle and doubles the amorphous shapes into a symmetrical Rorschach-like light brandish.
Viewers can glimpse the apparatus responsible for producing the projection inside a custom-made box mounted behind the screen. The box contains disparate glass lenses, colour-result filters, and objects from Eliasson's studio. A light inside the box illuminates the objects every bit they turn, and the resulting distortions are projected via a lens onto the screen. Equally each motor revolves at its ain pace, the relationship between the diverse elements constantly changes, then that the light sequence appears ever new. Chance alignments produce an ever-irresolute symphony of shadows and reflections on the screen – a phantasmagoria of evolving shapes, arboreal shadows, spectral arcs, and fields of color that wax and wane and ooze across the surface of the screen.

Several paintings in Olafur Eliasson'south solo exhibition 'Your light spectrum and presence' – currently on view at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in Los Angeles – characteristic the bright spectrum of colour seen in the natural phenomenon of a rainbow, a recurring motif throughout Eliasson's do.
'In the hurly-burly of everyday being, the generosity of the rainbow lies in its unexpected appearance. It is a minor phenomenon when the position of the sun, adequate weather condition conditions, and your optics – otherwise focused on your busy life – align to create a rainbow. This may allow you to interruption to gloat the fleeting moment of trajectories coming together up. Information technology is like nature offering a surprise party, while assuasive us the pleasance of beingness a co-host.' – Olafur Eliasson

'The missing left brain', 2022. On view now at Galería Elvira González in Madrid as part of Olafur's latest solo exhibition 'Navegación situada'.
'In "Navegación situada", I hope to place our sense of identify and of being nowadays under loving scrutiny. Walter D. Mignolo, an Argentinian literary theorist and specialist on decolonial theory, rephrased the Cartesian "I recall therefore I am as I am where I do and retrieve." This is such a radical shift from what I have been brought upward on. Thinking, doing, and place are fundamentally entangled. Beingness conscious of where I am is the beginning step to knowing who I am and to addressing fundamental questions of existence. But knowledge can only ever partial. The feminist and biologist Donna Haraway, whose work I adore, talks near "situated knowledges": knowledges – in the plural – that are embodied and arise through your entanglement with a item site, in a detail culture, and at a item time. This is something I've but recently begun to recognise properly although I've long worked with the idea that "vision", for instance, is embodied and particular, and that our entire sensorium facilitates how we connect with our specific surroundings and what we experience as our environs.' – Olafur Eliasson on his exhibition 'Navegación situada' at Galería Elvira González, Madrid
