The diversity of Eliasson’s output is well-captured in this exhibition, from large scale sensory trickery to subtle illusions, mundane objects and activism. ‘Din blinde passager’ an illuminated smoke filled corridor is a typical Eliasson audience participation installation - disorientating yet warming (you can only see ±1m). The environmental activism is at times too clever in its presentation though worth persisting with. Many exhibits are best viewed at leisure and without distractions at a quiet time.

(Confession: I’ve cheated on the photo, it’s from an Eliasson exhibition in Montreal, but it’s such a fun photo I had to use it)
