Summary:
The model room of Olafur Eliasson is a cabinet of studies, which exists both as a spatial structure and a viewing platform for dozens of intricately constructed models of various scales, developed together with Einar Thorsteinn, a architect and artist. The preparatory level – or ground work – is in general crucial to Eliasson's practice; he conceives his works basically as machines that produce phenomena through their interaction with the visitors. The machines are composed of multiple elements and often involve material and knowledge gained from fields other than art. Olafur Eliasson therefore collaborates with scientists occupied with cognitive and visual matters, with architects, and others.
