Exercise Seven: Anahita Kiani

OLAFUR ELIASSON


Your Gyroscope, 2008

Olafur Eliasson uses his imagination together with simple technologies and materials such as glass, floor lamps, fans and mirrors to explore ideas of space. Eliasson developed analogies between colour and sounds. He and number of other famous architects including Robert Irwin and James Turell believe in the connection between the sounds of specific musical instrument and colour.

Eliasson believes in our ability to hear colours and to see sounds. On this point,he says," We're metaphors. We always come in the colour and shape of our imagination."
