On the occasion of the exhibition Orizzonti tremanti (Trembling horizons) at Castello di Rivoli, Turin, a special reading room at Castello di Rivoli Library and Research Center was dedicated to Olafur Eliasson. The room housed a variety of catalogues covering the artist’s production, starting with his very first solo exhibitions in the nineties and extending up to the present, and a selection of publications that have inspired Eliasson and Studio Olafur Eliasson over the years.
A film by SHIMURAbros.

SHIMURAbros filmed Eliasson’s exhibition Orizzonti tremanti / Trembling horizons, at Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, in 2022.
For the exhibition, Eliasson constructed six immersive wedge-shaped chambers inside the long gallery wing of Castello di Rivoli. Entering into these optical device–like artworks, the viewer encountered 360-degree panoramic spaces that seemed far larger than physically possible – an optical illusion created through abutting mirrors. The mirrors also reflected ripples of light projected off the surfaces of water onto screens, creating complex patterns that unfolded around the viewers in fluid motion.
Eliasson says of the artworks: ‘Standing inside these kaleidoramas, you may feel as if you were watching time unfold. It is an opportunity to reconsider your sense of scale and time, like when you study images from a deep-space telescope, which come from the very limits of our imagination.’
