SHIMURABros contemplate ‘Power and care spirals’, 2016, from Eliasson’s solo exhibition ‘The parliament of possibilities’, 2016–17, at Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul.

To form each of these works, a loop of steel tubing was been coiled around itself to create a column composed of two concentric spirals. The outer-facing surface of each spiral was painted black, the inner-facing surface, white. Hanging vertically from the ceiling, each column was suspended from a motor that causes it to steadily rotate. An illusion is conjured by the rotation of the two spirals: two waveforms appear to glide eternally past each other, one moving ever upwards within the column, the other forever descending.

Music by mamoru.

SHIMURABros contemplate ‘Your museum primer’, 2014, from Eliasson’s solo exhibition at Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul, ‘The parliament of possibilities’, 2016–17. Suspended from the ceiling of a darkened gallery space, a prismatic ring with a pane of colour-effect filter glass at its centre slowly rotates within a beam of light projected by a focused spotlight. As the ring turns, it casts circles and arcs of light that move along the walls, scanning the space. Some of these are single tones, while others display the full range of colours in the visible spectrum. Because of the properties of the colour-effect filter glass, the reflected light appears blue while the light that passes through the glass is yellow.

SHIMURABros film ‘Rainbow assembly’, 2016, from Eliasson’s solo exhibition ‘The parliament of possibilities’, 2016–17, at Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul. Within a darkened space, multiple spotlights illuminate a circular curtain of fine mist. From certain perspectives, a shimmering rainbow can be seen in the falling water; it shifts in intensity or disappears as the viewer approaches or moves away.
