The Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Spatial Experiments) was a five-year experimental programme in arts education founded by Olafur Eliasson, co-directed by Eric Ellingsen and Christina Werner, and affiliated with the College of Fine Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). The Institut für Raumexperimente was located in the same building as Studio Olafur Eliasson.

All photos in this publication were taken by the participants and grantees of the Institut für Raumexperimente, the Institut team, or by its affiliated contributors, both during and as part of activities across the school's five-year programme. The content shown here presents ideas, efforts, situations, attempts, collective experiences, and individual perspectives - in short, everything involved in making art. This book, like the Institut and its work, co-produces the world.
