About Take your time

“Take Your Time,” an installation artwork by Olafur Eliasson created in 2008, belongs to the Light and Space and Neo-Minimalism art movements. This piece exemplifies Eliasson’s exploration of space, light, and perception, hallmark traits of the aforementioned movements.

The artwork features an expansive, circular form suspended from the ceiling, dominating the space with its presence. The upper surface of this structure is clad in a reflective material that visually extends the dimensions of the room, creating an interplay of light and reflection that distorts the viewer’s spatial awareness. The polished wood texture adds warmth to the installation, juxtaposed against the stark, minimalist white walls that serve as a backdrop. This clever manipulation of light and space results in an immersive experience, inviting viewers to slow down and contemplate their environment, aligning with the piece’s evocative title, “Take Your Time”.
