Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, this research follows nearly three decades of Eliasson's artistic practice, including works completed in 2018.

Hundreds of illustrations, all with a detailed caption to guide readers through his work, are introduced by a perceptive essay by art historian Michelle Kuo and an interview with Eliasson.

Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist known for creating works of art that cross the boundaries of conventional exhibition spaces - such as the museum and gallery - to take an active presence in civic space.

The artist uses elementary materials such as light, water and temperature to enhance the spectator's experience and boost art through his interests in perception, movement and experience.

In 1995 he founded Studio Olafur Eliasson, which today has a large team of artisans, architects, archivists, researchers, administrators, cooks, programmers, art historians, and specialized technicians.
