But what does it consist of?<\/h6>\n

LIFE<\/em> is a project through which Olafur<\/em> has eliminated a large number of windows at the Beyeler Foundation<\/em> to open the museum to its surrounding environment, full of the public park\u2019s plants and animals, to the urban landscape, to the climatology and to the fluctuating daylight. An exhibition that can be observed at any time, day or night, allowing the visitor to see its different mutations.<\/p>\n

This installation is a collective experiment through which to activate our senses and achieve a panoramic conscience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIFE <\/em>takes us along dark wooden walkways, surrounded by the environmental sounds of insects, traffic and other people, as well as the scents of plants \u2013 dwarf water lilies, shell flowers, water ferns \u2013 and the green water that has been saturated with uranine<\/em>, a non-toxic colouring.<\/p>\n

The installation also highlights perception and the cognitive and cultural conditions that shape it, a common core concept in his different artistic works, as Olafur Eliasson<\/em> likes to question the way we usually see things, the way we see the world. That\u2019s why he plays with the idea of shifting our view centered on human beings to a wider and more biocentric vision. Because culture and nature are inseparable.<\/p>\n

\u201cLIFE\u00a0blurs the edges between indoors and outdoors, between the museum and the installation.\u201d<\/h2>\n

This is the reason why whoever is lucky enough to witness this work in person will have a unique experience, without being conditioned by a text or any particular premise. It\u2019s about feeling free to feel, to perceive, to experiment\u2026.<\/p>\n

Another conscious aspect of this installation is our vulnerability and fragility. A matter that has been, and is increasingly more present in our lives since the appearance of the pandemic, and that has made us realize even more, if possible, how fluid life is, how impertinent we are and the scarcity in underdeveloped countries, but, also in developed ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Without further ado, it’s clear that when we collectively explore the world we share, we can make it more habitable for all species. Food for thought.<\/p>\n
