Explaining Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project

☀️ How did Olafur Eliasson captivate millions with a single art installation? Let’s quickly dive into The Weather Project and why it left such a lasting impact.
In 2003, Eliasson transformed London’s Tate Modern into an immersive experience. Imagine walking into the Turbine Hall, greeted by a giant, glowing sun made of hundreds of lamps. Mirrors covered the ceiling, creating infinite space, while mist filled the air, making everything hazy and dreamlike.
The Weather Project wasn’t just art-it was an exploration of our relationship with nature. By bringing the weather indoors, Eliasson encouraged us to think about how natural elements like the sun affect our emotions and perceptions.
Here’s the interesting part: Visitors didn’t just view the installation-they interacted with it. People basked in the artificial sunlight, turning the space into a social gathering, connecting with the artwork and each other.
