Desert Reflective Art Installations

Olafur Eliasson Designs the Shadows Travelling Installation

— November 24, 2022 — Art & Design
Danish-Islandic artist Olafur Eliasson works on the new Shadows Travelling installation on the Sea of the Day. It is made up of 20 circular structures that are taking place during this year's FIFA World Cup. It is made in collaboration with Qatar Museums and features over 100 commissioned artworks installed throughout Qatar.

Qatar Museums states that, "On arriving at the installation, looking up at the mirrored undersides, you will come to realise that you are, in fact, looking down – at the earth and at yourself. Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day continues the Danish-Icelandic artist's longstanding exploration into the interplay of human perception and the natural world. The principles behind such patterns were recently discovered by mathematicians in the West, may have informed some of the sophisticated designs found in Islamic cultures since medieval times."
