Catalogue Note
"The potency and emotional resonance of Eliasson’s work is due in part to how far removed, how disturbingly alien his pieces are with respect to the familiar, expected patterns of everyday experience, even when his work is situated fully within mundane environments." J. Crary (Light Art: Targetti Light Art Collection, Milan, 2005, p. 70)
