[Images: Space, sequence, light: architecture as a four-dimensional film you can walk through – taken from Reimagine (large version), 2002, by Olafur Eliasson].
It's projections of light onto a wall, in architectonic forms; the angles of the projections are worked out so that depth perception kicks in and then space appears to be receding into the wall in front of you - but it's just light, at the right angles, sequenced. A four-dimensional film, so to speak - via a flat surface. Or: space as film (light: projected). Illusions thereof.
everything is 'just light'... in this case, the spectrum modulated to effect various grades of white--using light to project the simulation of shadow, i.e. the absence of light.

Thanks! Spread the word -
Nice images...
But what is it? How does it work?
I'm curious
