Olafur Eliasson on “Life” At the Fondation Beyeler, Eliasson states: “Increasingly I have grown interested in efforts to consider life not from a human-centric perspective but from a broad, biocentric perspective. I’ve found myself turning nouns into verbs – when I go through my exhibition, I try to tree, for instance – in order to become aware of perspectives that go beyond what we humans can properly imagine.”
