Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson‘s latest exhibition includes a towering waterfall that appears to fall from from the sky into the Grand Canal at the Palace of Versailles. The exhibition features three outdoor works with the theme of water and architectural interventions inside the palace; it runs from 7 June to 30 October 2016.
The Versailles that I have been dreaming up is a place that empowers everyone. It invites visitors to take control of the authorship of their experience instead of simply consuming and being dazzled by the grandeur. It asks them to exercise their senses, to embrace the unexpected, to drift through the gardens, and to feel the landscape take shape through their movement. –Olafur Eliasson
