National Gallery Singapore, along St Andrew's Road
WUNDERKAMMER is an intriguing collection of natural elements, small artworks, and experiments from Olafur Eliasson’s studio rendered in augmented reality. These AR collectibles meld the well-known with startling movement and unexpected actions—from a hovering stone and a shimmering rainbow, to a cloud that emits rain. Some evoke contemplation while others are humorous.
Olafur Eliasson is known internationally for creating large-scale installations and sculptures that employ elemental materials including light, air and water, while engaging in urgent contemporary issues including sustainability, climate change, policy-making and education. He frequently works beyond the confines of the gallery, engaging in the public sphere through architectural projects and interventions in public space. In 1995, he founded Studio Olafur Eliasson in Berlin, a laboratory for spatial research comprising over 100 people, including craftsmen, architects, and specialist technicians. Eliasson has held shows internationally and at various Biennales, and has been the subject of solo exhibitions at institutions including the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2018), the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris (2014) and the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (2011)—a presentation that spread out across the city.
