Olafur Eliasson的作品《航行于海面上的影子》(2022)延续了丹麦艺术家长期以来对人类感知与自然世界相互作用的探索。该装置由20个镜面圆棚、3个单环和2个双环组成,它们按五重对称图案的轴线放置,十个圆棚在中心形成一个五角星。这些图案背后的原理是最近才被西方数学家发现的,尽管它们可能是从中世纪以来伊斯兰文化中发现的一些复杂设计中获取的灵感。

Olafur Eliasson’s Shadows travelling on the sea of the day (2022) continues the IcelandicDanish artist’s longstanding exploration into the interplay of human perception and the natural world. The installation comprises twenty mirrored circular shelters, three single rings, and two double rings that are positioned according to the axes of a fivefold symmetrical pattern, with the ten shelters at the centre forming a pentagram, or five-pointed star. The principles behind such patterns were recently discovered by mathematicians in the West, although they may have informed some of the sophisticated designs found in Islamic cultures since medieval times.

Olafur Eliasson表示:“该艺术作品与地球同行,它歌颂在卡塔尔首都多哈(Doha )北部沙漠地区存在和移动的一切:动物、植物和人类;故事、传统和文化艺术;风、阳光、空气和跳动的热浪。

当人们到达该装置下方,抬头看其镜面的底部,会意识到这实际上是在俯视——在看大地,也在看自己。视线所及的上方和下方,被广袤的沙漠以及其他共享这一空间的人包围着。这是对人与大地连接的一种现实检验。镜子连接并完善了物理上的另一部分支撑结构,形成完整的“圆形”,将真实的环境与反射的空间连接起来,创造了一个相互联系的世界。人们凝视时的视线摆动,以及身体的移动,可能会增强自身的存在感,而弯曲的结构似乎也会去物质化,成为自然的文化景观。”

Regarding his artwork, Olafur Eliasson said, “Shadows travelling on the sea of the day, 2022, is an invitation to resync with the planet. It is a celebration of everything being in and moving through the desert site north of Doha at the time of your visit – animals, plants, and human beings; stories, traditions, and cultural artefacts; wind, sunlight, air, and shimmering heat.

On arriving at the installation, looking up at the mirrored undersides, you will come to realise that you are, in fact, looking down – at the earth and at yourself. Above and below, sand envelops you, together with anyone else sharing the space. It is a kind of reality check of your connectedness to the ground. The mirrors connect and perfect what is physically distinct and partial, linking the actual surroundings with the reflected space and creating a sea of interconnections. The oscillation of your gaze, together with the movement of your body, may amplify your sense of presence, while the curving structures seem to dematerialise, becoming naturalcultural landscape.”

装置下方的镜面反射着大地,当人们抬头观望时,其实也是在俯视自身与大地,能够激发人们思考与自然的联系。
