Olafur Eliasson is deeply committed to society and the environment. This exhibition clearly shows this involvement by offering its visitors the oppor- tunity to communicate directly with members of its team of more than 100 people in its Berlin studio.
This desire is reflected in the very heart of Tate Modern’s Terrace Bar, as Studio Olafur Eliasson’s kitchen team creates a special menu with organic and vegeta- rian dishes such as in Berlin.
Behind the gallery, visitors will discover the Eliasson waterfall 2019. This sculp- ture is characteristic of its fusion of nature with technology and its investigation of how we think and react to our environment.
This 11-meter-high work follows the succession of waterfalls presented in cities around the world, notably in Sydney in 1998, in New York in 2008, in São Paulo in 2011 and, finally, in Versailles in 2016.
More than just an exhibition, an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages who will enjoy interacting with this living art.
