Olafur Eliasson: Art Is the World

Olafur Eliasson – NHK WORLD

Kristoffer explored the philosophy and perception-shifting work of Olafur Eliasson in Tokyo, where his monumental sculptures blurred the line between nature and the man-made.

Directed a story on his exhibition A harmonious cycle of interconnected nows—commissioned for Japan’s tallest building and accompanied by new installations that invite viewers to engage with time, climate, and change.

The report traced Eliasson’s use of light, water, and recycled materials to spark wonder and environmental awareness—and his belief that art can reshape the world, one perception at a time.
