The presence of absence pavilion is a bronze cast of the void left by a block of glacial ice that has melted away. The ice was fished out of the Nuup Kangerlua fjord off the coast of Greenland during production of the public artwork Ice Watch, 2014, for which Eliasson and the geologist Minik Rosing brought massive blocks of glacial ice to public spaces around Europe and allowed them to melt over several days or weeks. The Greenland ice sheet loses tens of thousands of similar blocks each minute as a result of global warming. Here the disappearance of the ice is cast in a material that in the history of art has typically been associated with power and permanence.
