The famous Danish artist and architect Olafur Eliasson has recently made a surprising one installation in the heart of Warsaw. It is called Your Reality Machine and is a pavilion created as part of the 2011 program of the Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union. Visible until the end of the year, the installation is characterized by a refined red and white structure that invites visitors to become active consumers of culture and participate in social life.
Is titled Your Reality Machine and it’s the new one installation conceived and designed by the world famous Danish artist and architect Olafur Eliasson. Installed in the heart of Warsaw, it consists of a sort of real pavilion born from the central idea of the Polish presidency: art for the change of society.
The project was chosen in the context of a competition an invitation launched last year by Narodowy Instytut Audiowizualny in which seven different architectural firms took part including FRPO Rodriguez & Oriol Architecture / Landscape, Spain, Medusa Group, Poland, Pezo von Ellrichshausen Arquitectos, Chile and the winner: Studio Olafur Eliasson, Germany.
Your Reality Machine pavilion is characterized by a light architecture and a futuristic appearance in white and red. In the central part of the roof, a large opening was created with kaleidoscope mirrors surrounding it from four sides. The mirrors reflect and multiply the immediate surroundings including parts of buildings, vegetation, sky and fragments of the red structure of the same pavilion.
