Spectacular, large-format art by the Danish artist
In this unmissable exhibition Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has created 11 large-scale installations, eight of which are brand new, that invite the public to explore perceptions of light, colour, spatial orientation and natural phenomena in a playful and thought-provoking way.
The installations are split across three venues – SESC Belenzinho, SESC Pompéia and the Pinacoteca and the artist’s vision, as the exhibition title suggests, is that the audience, as co-producers of their own experiences, should themselves be physically working to see the exhibit, crossing the chaotic city to visit each venue.
Look out for the Microscope for Sao Paulo – a huge glass-tiled, upside-down pyramid hanging around two of the Pinocoteca’s courtyard bridges, which by some trick of mechanics involving four mirrors, transforms the space into a huge kaleidoscope. And Your Felt Path – a large room at SESC Pompéia filled with artificial fog so thick that visitors can see only two feet ahead of them in each direction.
‘Your Body of Work’ is part of the international contemporary art festival SESC_Videobrasil, along with the exhibition ‘Panoramas do Sul’.
