accentuates the latter. The tremendous power, mysteriousness and
mythology of Icelandic nature finds its counterpart in the cultural
and alien elements represented by the greenhouses. The greenhouses
maintain an artificial naturalness which is paradoxical and
ironic. Olafur Eliasson works with the elements of nature (water,
air, light and earth) and the point of departure of his works are
problems of representations, like the opposition between nature and
culture, inside and outside. Different kinds of scientists, engineers
and architects often participate in the production of his installations.
They are all specialists who work with the displacement of scale, representation
and models. Focus is on the experience of the viewer
and sometimes he or she will find nature more real, beautiful and
overwhelming by watching the representation than by actually
being in nature. Nature is staged as a piece of fiction - with the
viewer as the centre - and this fiction might influence the viewer's
future experiences of nature and stimulate him or her to adopt an
aesthetisized view on the familiar surroundings".
