Your strange certainty still kept 1996

Olafur Eliasson made this installation, “Your strange certainty still kept,” by playing with light, water, and space. The whole piece shimmers. It’s like he’s trying to capture the ephemeral, those fleeting moments we usually miss. The magic's in how Eliasson uses materials. Here, it’s not about paint, but about water, light, and the space itself. The droplets catch the light, turning the whole room into a canvas. Look closely, and you see how the space is divided – the dark upper reaches and lighter lower section create a contrast that makes the falling water even more striking. The way the water hits the ground, it’s like the earth meeting the sky, a continuous cycle. Eliasson’s work always reminds me of James Turrell, playing with perception and the way we experience the world around us. It’s not about answers, but about questions, about making us stop and notice the beauty in the everyday.
