The element of the circle repeats itself over and over in Eliasson‘s works. We can see it in one of his most famous installations in the Tate Modern museum, “The Weather Project“ (2003). This installation is remembered in history as one of the most visited - if not the most visited exhibition at the museum.
We can also see a preoccupation with circular shapes in his “Shadows traveling on the seat of the day,“ located at the Northern Heritage site in Qatar (below).
In his works, the circle and its three-dimensional form - the sphere - are meant to reflect a sense of unity, oneness, and awareness of one’s surroundings.
