The Weather Project [Link]
Olafur Eliasson 2003

テートモダンで展示され大好評だったThe Weather Projectの作品。
半円のスクリーンと照明装置が天井に張られた鏡によって円になり太陽が出現する。
天井の高いテートモダンなので、鑑賞者が豆粒のように映りこむ。
人口に発生させた霧が幻想的な雰囲気を演出している。

　> The subject of the weather has long shaped the content of
　> everyday conversation.
　> The eighteenth-century writer Samuel Johnson famously remarked
　> ‘It is commonly observed, that when two Englishmen meet,
　> their first talk is of the weather; they are in haste to tell each other,
　> what each must already know, that it is hot or cold,
　> bright or cloudy, windy or calm.’
　> In The Weather Project, the fourth in the annual Unilever Series
　> of commissions for the Turbine Hall,
　> Olafur Eliasson takes this ubiquitous subject as the basis
　> for exploring ideas about experience, mediation and representation.
