Reimagine 2002

Olafur Eliasson made "Reimagine" by using projectors to cast geometric shapes across the architecture of this room. When I look at this, I think about how this room could have been constructed. Imagine the artist playing around with the architectural features, the colour palette, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. The cool grey light really softens the space and invites me in to explore. I sympathize with Eliasson here, and imagine what it might have been like to create. It's like he is thinking about how light changes the way we perceive form. The light is cool like a crisp winter day in Iceland. It reminds me of the Land Art movement from the '60s and '70s. Artists are always in an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas across time, inspiring one another’s creativity. Painting is a form of embodied expression which embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meaning over fixed or definitive readings.
