Feature: Fivefold symmetries
Explored in collaboration with geometer Einar Thorsteinn, fivefold symmetry constitutes a recurring theme in Olafur Eliasson’s work. This particular symmetric pattern stems from five groups of parallel lines, each group derived from one side of a pentagon. As they spread, the lines cross at distinct angles, giving rise to a rhythmic but aperiodic pattern marked by regular pentagons in two sizes and five-pointed stars. The web of lines produces a sense of harmony as well as confusion – a dialectic of expectations in the viewers’ mind.
