Mountains of ice in the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville in Paris, a geyser in the courtyard of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, a pond landscape in the Kunsthaus of the Austrian city of Bregenz: in the unusual installations Olafur Eliasson successfully presents worldwide, the artist employs means that are as elementary as they are fleeting: light, heat, damp, steam, and ice. The young Icelander also uses photography in his art. This year, Eliasson's work can be seen both on the art calendar of the Deutsche Bank and in an exhibition in New York: Fleeting Moments in the Lobby Gallery of the Deutsche Bank presents positions in contemporary landscape photography. But are Eliasson's photographs of untouched landscapes really romantic? Maria Morais and Oliver Koerner von Gustorf have visited Eliasson in his studio in Berlin and have formulated an introduction to his work.
