[OLAFUR ELIASSON] The placement of the color,
we should locate here on the model,
and do it exactly like that, on-site.
[ASSISTANT] Okay.
[ELIASSON] The objects are not necessarily the most interesting part about art.
It is what the object does to me when I look at it or engage in it
that is actually interesting.
You are somehow provoked into a more negotiating role
because you go like, "What am I looking at?"
Then you are more likely to also inquire, "Well, what does looking actually mean?"
"And why am I seeing things the way I'm seeing it?"
Instead of questioning the object, you are in fact questioning yourself.
That, I think, is one of the great things that art can do.
Art can somehow offer an opportunity to do some self-evaluation.
