Many of the experiments inside the pavilions utilised natural phenomena, such as wind, water, and sunlight, to create artworks that emerged over the course of the day or, as the seasons change, over the duration of the exhibition.<br \/>\nAt the National Museum of Qatar, the gallery exhibition featured a variety of artworks from different periods of Eliasson&rsquo;s career and in a wide range of media, including expansive light installations, complex geometric models, photo series from Iceland, watercolours, optical devices and an extensive map of the research areas that occupy the artist and his studio. The themes that run throughout the two-part exhibition relate to the broad interests expressed in Eliasson&rsquo;s wider practice.<br \/>\nText by Olafur Eliasson, Bouthayna Baltaji, Lina Patmali, Aspa D.
