Fondation Louis Vuitton,
Inside the Horizon
Paris – France, 2013
Inside the horizon, is the work of the artist Olafur Eliasson which he has specifically designed for the walk around the Vuitton Foundation imagined by the architect Frank Gehry. The installation consists of forty-three glass columns. Two sides of each column are clad in mirrors, while the third is made of yellow glass tiles and illuminated from within.
The work reveals a multitude of points of view and perspectives of the architecture and provides to the visitor a singular spatial and physical experience.
