Eliasson, born in Copenhagen in 1967, lives and works in Berlin and Copenhagen. Working with our perceptions of the natural environment, Eliasson's major works to date have often re-created natural phenomena, using only the simplest of easily-available materials. His installations exploit several senses, often including changes in temperature or light as crucial elements of their impact. Eliasson's new piece created an evocative relationship with the natural environment surrounding Dundee Contemporary Arts. 'An installation artist whose work is both stunningly original and beautiful, Eliasson plays on the relationship between nature and architecture in new, quite dazzling ways.

This summer Eliasson intends to eclipse the sun, by placing a second sun forty metres in diameter on the western horizon. Although nothing more than a flat, artificially-lit stage-prop, this sister to the real sun will provide a double sensory experience.
