The Weather Project at the Tate Modern

Miles, Louise and I went to see Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project at the Tate Modern. The piece is a huge sunset which fills the gigantic turbine hall with twilight. Peoples' reactions to the piece were very interesting, bearing much similarity to how we would behave on a day out centred around the real sun.

TWP 3, showing the mirrored ceiling, the piece is actually semi-circular and mounted against a mirror which covers the ceiling of the hall, you can see the intersection

The best way to enjoy the piece
People enjoying what is closest in my mind to some kind of fake beach
