In The Weather Project, the fourth in the annual Unilever Series of commissions for the Turbine Hall - Tate Modern, London, 16.10.2003-21.03.2004 - Olafur Eliasson takes this ubiquitous subject , the weather, as the basis for exploring ideas about experience, mediation and representation. Eliasson views the weather – wind, rain, sun – as one of the few fundamental encounters with nature that can still be experienced in the city. He is also interested in how the weather shapes a city and, in turn, how the city itself becomes a filter through which to experience the weather.
