In 2003, Olafur Eliasson created the weather project, located in the Turbine hall. From  afar, the crowd saw a glowing sun and misty red surrounding them. As they walked closer towards the sun the people saw the mechanics that really made up this exhibit. They saw the circular screen, powered by 200 yellow mono frequency lamps, and the nozzles that the fog came from. The goal was that things aren’t always as they seem.
