Riverbed by Olafur Eliasson

olafur-eliasson-riverbed-05

Olafur Eliasson, a Berlin based artist, literally brings the outdoors inside by filling the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark with soil and stones to resemble a riverbed, hence the name of the exhibition. Eliasson wants the visitor to experience the contrast of the exhibition with true nature, by letting them get immersed in the authenticity of the installation. The central issue of ‘Riverbed’ is the progress of the visitor through the museum and the coinciding transitions between outside and inside, staged nature and culture – all becoming fluid.
