The New York City Waterfalls 2008

Olafur Eliasson's "The New York City Waterfalls" (2008) was an ambitious public art installation that transformed the iconic Brooklyn Bridge by adding a series of temporary waterfalls. The project aimed to redefine the relationship between nature and the urban environment, using water as a powerful symbol of both beauty and change. The waterfalls, suspended from the bridge, created a dramatic spectacle that captivated the city, inviting viewers to consider the power of nature and its potential to alter our perceptions of familiar landscapes.
