Opera house Copenhagen: Light objects „Chandeliers“ with triangles of dichroic glass
| Project: | „Chandeliers“ |
| Place: | Neue Oper Kopenhagen (Dänemark) |
| Artist: | Olafur Eliasson, 2005 |
| Photographer: | Silke Heneka |
Today, the new opera house in Copenhagen belongs to the most prominent sight-seeing attractions in the Danish capital. For the foyer, the world famous Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has designed three identical light objects. Instead of the flashing lead crystals of a conventional chandelier, he uses the beaming power of dichroitic filters, pronounced by a special style: 1,500 triangles in 75 different dimensions form the surface.
