Installation artist Olafur Eliasson has been described as the Ai Wei Wei of Iceland. He’s installed giant waterfalls around New York City, made a rainbow walkway on top of a museum in Denmark, and had real glacial ice transported from Greenland to the Paris climate talks. Now, he’s taken over the bottom floor of the Marciano Art Foundation here in LA for a new installation.

Olafur Eliasson's "Reality projector" installation at the Marciano Art Foundation.
