One of the most wide-ranging and ambitious creative minds of his
generation, Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has produced a
dizzying spectrum of work around the world. Best known for his
large-scale public works in a wide range of settings, from museums
to gardens, his constant inventiveness and publicly oriented
projects across the globe have entranced huge numbers of people.
Focusing on a single artwork situated across a large site in his
native country, the project's title refers to the glaciers that
formed the landscape around sites in Denmark, as can still be seen
in the country's topography and geology. Five mirrors, ranging from
a perfect circle to elongated ellipses, reflect the changing sky
above and the contemplator's own gaze as if in the surfaces of
glacial pools. This book offers a unique and highly detailed
insight, captured over the course of four seasons, of a singular
landscape. Working with geologists, landscape architects and other
specialists, Eliasson has created a unique space seen by few. This
publication documents and enhances the work itself through
photographs, essays and collaborators who render the poetic power
of the project in images and words. Exquisitely produced and
packaged in a limited quantity, this very special volume is a gift
to collectors, bibliophiles and all those seeking new perspectives
on one of the world's leading artists.
