Description

Design and construction of a series of reflective artworks by Olafur Eliasson.

A triangular mirror, ca. 2m large, is arranged in special angles in a stainless steel frame made of a bespoke hollow profile under a dichromatic glass plate. The resulting mirror is set 2.5 m into a specially manufactured base.

Through the opening in the top of the mirror body, light shines into the spatial triangle and is infinitely reflected through the incorporated mirror, thus producing a subterranean cosmos of stars.

Between 2008 and 2012 a total of 12 kaleidoscopes, each with a star formation, have been built and installed.
