Lens Flares are Homeless Lights, Says Olafur Eliasson

“In the science of optics, a flare is like the waste product, light not being used for what it’s supposed to be used. I thought that’s a nice narrative because it’s so exceptionally beautiful, but it’s a little bit like homeless light.”
– Icelandic–Danish installation artist Olafur Eliasson, discussing his newest spectacle, Your Ocular Relief (2021), on view at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York, with writer Devorah Lauter
