As a gamer with a keen eye for visual aesthetics and a soft spot for immersive experiences, I can’t help but feel drawn to Olafur Eliasson’s latest project, Lifeworld. With a background of navigating pixelated landscapes and manipulating digital realities, I find myself intrigued by the concept of slowing down the tempo of urban chaos and inviting introspection through art.
Olafur Eliasson is on the verge of unveiling his latest video project globally. The work consists of a collection of site-specific installations that can be found in New York, London, Seoul, and Berlin. Renowned for his introspective installations, Eliasson encourages viewers to ponder by creating an atmosphere where they can lose themselves in their own hazy contemplation.
Instead of displaying sharp, advertising-like images, Lifeworld will transmit dreamy, slightly out-of-focus footage of each city, which it then projects back onto itself. In the midst of urban hustle and bustle, this installation momentarily halts the rat race to present the world bathed in a gentle, enigmatic light. As forms and colors merge, the artist creates an opportunity for contemplation. Eliasson explains to Artnet that “slowing down is part of opening up” – it’s when we pay closer attention that we discover more than we initially thought we would see.
In the tradition of notable environmental installations such as Ice Watch and The Weather Project, Lifeworld draws beauty from its immediate surroundings. As Eliasson puts it, his blurry film presents a more authentic reality compared to screen versions because it’s welcoming, providing room for you. This quality, he says, is a form of powerful gentleness. Drawing inspiration from the present moment, the artist invites a sense of reconnection and renewal, even if it’s just for brief moments.
Under the sponsorship of CIRCA, the digital artwork titled Lifeworld is scheduled to be displayed each evening starting October 1, 2024, at Piccadilly Lights in London, K-Pop Square in Seoul, and Limes Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. The local time for these displays will be 8:24 p.m. until December 1, 2024. In addition, during the entire month of November, the piece will be shown from 11:57 p.m. to midnight (Eastern Standard Time) in Times Square, New York.
