Tomilson Hill in honor of Ned Rifkin’s tenure as Director of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (2002–2005), 2005.Īrtist Olafur Eliasson (b. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC. What do you see? What’s happening? Why do you think there is a rainbow? Play around with the placement of your paper until you find a rainbow! Cut a small rectangular frame out of the middle of the other sheet of paper. Fill your glass with water and place it on top of one of the pieces of paper in direct sunlight. Grab two sheets of white paper, a smooth clear drinking glass, and scissors. Occasionally, parts of the artwork block the light and create shadows on the wall. A rainbow spectrum is the multicolored light rays (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) that occur when light shines through a prism. At the same time, light passing through the ring refracts, creating a rainbow spectrum. As the ring moves, light bounces off of it and creates different white reflections. In the video you probably noticed the circular ring suspended from the ceiling. What did you observe while watching the artwork? Describe the objects, shapes, and colors. All artists work with light, but Eliasson takes this even farther by making art out of light itself! An installation is an artwork with many different parts that are set up in a space such as the room pictured here. It is an installation work made by the artist Olafur Eliasson. Reflection and refraction can create interesting visuals such as rainbows. When light travels between different materials it changes (refraction) or bounces (reflection). Look closely at the beacon of light projecting across the room. You’ll notice a darkened, mostly empty room.Ī tripod stand with a large spotlight is placed toward the center of the room.
