Eliasson Olafur, *1967 (Copenhagen) Lives in Berlin and Copenhagen, works with installations and photography. Untitled,2000 Neon installation, 65 metres © Olafur Eliasson Here Olafur Eliasson has placed two luminous neon tubes on the load-bearing concrete wall in one of the glass-encased lift shafts at the Zurich headquarters. Of simple beauty and complexity, the sweeping pair of non-parallel curves seems to resemble an interval frozen in time, one of those lightning flashes that ordinarily sink into darkness again. The glass cabin of the lift glides past the neon tubes, its movement propelling the viewer's field of vision along the wall. In the restricted area that can be grasped in passing, the neon curves affixed to the wall actually seem to begin moving in opposite directions. An outside viewer would see only the moving passengers and two inflexible illuminated lines; the animated law of movement through time would remain hidden. |
