A cubic meter of fogged space


[Image: 1M3 Light, 1999, by Olafur Eliasson, described by Metropolis as "a cubic meter of fogged space." From the article: "Using light as others might use bricks and mortar, Eliasson turns luminosity into an architectural element. Often water is the facilitator. He partitions space with curtains made of drops of water frozen by strobe lights... or he converts fog into a building material, neatly carving a cubic meter of emptiness by slicing through a foggy room with spotlights."
