The Weather Project
 |
The best interactive art is always so simple in hindsight. Walking into the Tate Modern at midnight to feel warmed by the sun is an experience only available for another two days. I'm glad I caught it.
The top hemisphere of the sun is the roof, a giant mirror stretching back halfway down the Tate's massive entrance hall. Lying on your back looking up at the reflection of the sun-baskers, many playing, some writhing across the floor. The patterns across the space were relaxing. The cold air from the entrance mixing with the warmth and faint smokiness emanating from 'the beach'. The space had real atmosphere. Not many things entice me into lying on a cold stone floor but we spent at least an hour in this people canvas. Tate Modern | The Unilever Series: Olafur Eliasson: The Weather Project |
