The
only thing we have in common is that we are different.

The
project gallery presented an installation by Olafur Eliasson.
In his work, he often employs modern technology as devices in various
levels and creates particular phenomena, by which he questions human
perception of reality.
In the course of history one can observe how different models of perception
and relating to space replaced and necessitated on another, parallel
with social, ideological, technical and other changes. In all given
physical structures there are relationships in the form of socialization
potentials. For the individual, these models and relations can seem
so natural that one can mistakenly assume that they are actual characteristics
of our surroundings. Eliasson's apparently wholly physical experiments
with water and light, air and color, often indirectly based on astrophysical
and subatomic research and experiments, are therefore in reality also
experiments with our models of perception and environment models and
hence also with our social structures.
Olafur Eliasson stayed at CCA Kitakyushu as a professor of the Research
Program during a month in February.
