Olafur Eliasson, Geometric lines for horizons
Description
This sculpture by Olafur Eliasson is a glass sphere, partially silvered and painted, with thin lines cut out along its surface. When viewers peer into the sphere, the geometry is reflected again and again in the mirror finish that coats the inner surface. "Geometric lines for horizons" takes us into a mysterious world without limits.
This work is presented as part of the exhibition A FRAGILE BALANCE, from 9 November 2022 to 12 March 2023.
