This book arose from a dialogue between Olafur Eliasson and graphic designer Irma Boom, and accompanies the exhibition Olafur Eliasson Versailles. The book offers a subjective view of the baroque palace and its formal gardens. Essays by philosopher Christine Buci-Glucksmann and curator Alfred Pacquement. '
Photographs of the artworks by Anders Sune Berg converse with images of the site taken by Eliasson himself. A series of abstract drawings react to instructions written by Louis XIV on how to view the gardens of Versailles.
The book is printed on three kinds of paper with each a different colour: black, grey and white. Unconventional image orientation invites readers to turn the book in their hands as they read, and surprising colour and paper combinations add visual ambiguity and hesitation, causing readers to take a closer look.
