The Weather Project by the Danish Artist Olafur Eliasson at the Tate Modern is a must for London visitors this Winter.
The entrance hall of Tate Modern in an disused power station always fascinated me and I felt remembered to an cathedral and its hight and light inside, but this simply is gigantic.
When entering you are immediately transformed to an everlasting sunset surrounded by hundreds of people who were as fascinated as I was.
With an open mouth I walked through the hall not knowing where to look at first. Some people laid down on the ground others tried to discover the source of the light which actually only is half a sun, the other half is a reflection. But this is as deceptive as the beauty of a red sunset in nature caused by pollution hence the name of the installation and the artist's aim.
But let's enjoy the show...
Reflection in the ceiling which is laid out with mirrors that makes the hall twice as high.
Genial ( that means brilliant but more ).
Zorba the Greek. He was actually from Portsmouth, I had a nice chat with him and his friend.
I cannot say whether these people resemble human genes or they remind me on these horrible photos taken of falling people to their death on September 11.
Overwhelmed.
Open from 16 October 2003 until 21 March 2004.
No entrance fee, but the two pounds I was asked to donate were more than a bargain for the two hours I spent there taking 201 photos on my digital camera.
The camera is a Nikon Coolpix 5700, one photo was slightly cropped and one rotated by 5 degrees and then cropped, most were overexposed by +1.
Taken on 25 October 2003.
