This is Olafur Elliason's Weather Project and it was installed at the Tate Modern in 2003. Elliason used humidifiers to create and mist in the air and as you can see used many lamps to create a sun like light. The ceiling was covered with mirrors so that people could look up to and see themselves as black shadows against an huge orange light. Many people when viewing this work of art would lie down on their backs and wave them arms and legs and watch themselves in the mirror. This particular work of art to me is pretty cool because it is such a massive work and must have taken a great deal of time and effort to put together. Also the effect given off by the work must have been awesome and I would actually liked to have seen this myself.
