Your Body Of Work, His Penetrable

Olafur Eliasson, Seu corpo da obra (Your body of work), 2011, cyan, magenta, and yellow plastic sheets, installed at SESC Pompeia, São Paulo, photo: Olafur Eliasson himself via olafureliasson.net

Right now I would just like to get lost in transparent mazes of color, tracking the new colors produced by overlapping vistas, and reminisce on the Penetrable installations of Helio Oiticica. Who was driven from Brazil into exile by the military dictatorship.

Turns out discovering this 2011 Olafur Eliasson installation in São Paulo, and later in Stockholm, is not helping me flee the foreboding present, who knew?
