BERLIN- The Scandinavian artist Olafor Eliason opened his latest individual exhibition at the New Zrichnider Art Fair in Berlin, Germany. This is the installation “seduction of looking through a polarized window of opportunities, or seeing a surprise before reducing and dividing it and then” (gravity of looking through a polarized window of opportunities, or seeing a surprise before reducing it and dividing it and then dividing it and then it is reduced more). Years of cooperation between Eliason and the exhibition.
The exhibition consists of five facilities, which gives the continuity of Eliason’s interest in light, movement, colors, perception and engineering. In each of the works contained in this exhibition, there is a fixed material and principles, they all explore polarization: optical filters that allow the passage of light waves with a specific direction or polarity, and prevent the rest of the waves.
The polarization candidates are common in photography, as they are used to reduce lens flashes, however, the Danish artist is re -accomplished this traditional function and uses these filters to create unexpected visual effects.
When walking via EL EspCTADOR, it meets the first installation and becomes part of the lights, shadows and colors that make the perspective of what is observed constantly change. The overwhelming art was fixed in many of its opponents.
“Ludiation of looking through a polarized window of opportunities” (2025) is similar to a experimental collection designed with simple materials: lights, plastic panels and polarizing filters. Two lights shine the exhibition rooms through a polarized window. Light affects two vertebral sculptures, extremely exhausted, producing vibrant colors that dissolve and return to appearing. The colors that change on the walls are reflected.

The installation will not be something without the audience’s movement in the exhibition, as part of their work consists of Polaroid mobile phones, as it is mainly the movements of the spectators and their walk through the exhibition that stimulates the work.
After several years of preparation, the artist studied our ways to see the world and experience the world. Eliason wondered whether what we see is really what it is, if we are sure of what we see.
In the same room, the structure statue is, otherwise, color projects and shadows around them, because many multi -border faces are stuffed with polarized filters that allow the production of a set of tones. The colors of this work play with the first.
Impossible things
At work entitled “A surprise vision before reducing and dividing it and then recycling” (2025), Eliason explains that the first thing that attracts the viewer’s attention is a piece of plastic that floats and moves in the air driven by the fan, which is not a surprise; Then watch the light box, which is not surprising; Then see a mirror and look at the moving plastic in different colors, then when the color is wondering.
“From the perspective of (work) completely transparent and from another, it is full of colors. So it is decided and selected,” Eliason explained.
In a press conference, Eliason spoke about her magic with a surprise in his works: “Surprise is when something unexpected happens, this is simple. But we (as society) always do everything possible to avoid surprise, we hate surprises. So we are here in a place where we are looking for this surprise. (…) The idea in this space is as follows: dialogue with opposite opinions.”
In this exhibition, all the participating pieces invite the artist the idea of finding new opportunities and discovering things that may be impossible otherwise a basic role in their creativity.
“I am interested in experiencing something you are sure that it does not exist,” Eliason said as part of his artistic statement.
The internationally recognized artist in 1995 moved to the German capital and founded Olafor Eliason’s study, where he works with specialized technicians, art historians, architects, directors, archive designers, web designers, graphic designers, cooks and officials.
His magic pushed him to find new views of multidisciplinary work with scientists and specialists, and in this exhibition was no exception, in addition to his work, Equium, Olafor was in contact with physics Maria Chikova to learn more about experimental quantum optics, which explore the relationship between light and material. Chekhova is an expert in this field and works at the Max Planck Institute for Light Sciences in Germany.
The exhibition was opened on May 2, as part of the weekend in Berlin, which is open to the public until August 9, 2025.
The 58 -year -old Danish artist is one of the most important names of contemporary art and one of his most prominent works is the weather project (2003), a stabilization that was the main axis of showing an illusion of a radiant sun inside the TATE MODERN Museum in London, England. For this, the artist used a semi -circular screen and a ceiling of mirrors and artificial fog to create the illusion of the sun. Visitors can see how to build work, walk across the box, sleep on the floor, and become part of the work in the huge and warm room.
Museums and other international institutions that allocated individual exhibitions to Elias Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles include the United States (2024); Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy (2022); Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland (2020); The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan (2020), among others.
