Olafur Eliasson: “It is my hope that
Green light will shine light on some of the
challenges and responsibilities arising from the current refugee crisis in Europe
and throughout the world.
Green light is an act of welcoming, addressed both to
those who have fled hardship and instability in their home countries and to the
residents of Vienna. It invites them to take part in the construction of something of
value through a playful, creative process. Working together in an artistic context, in
dialogue with the regular visitors of the Augarten, participants build both a modular
light and a communal environment, in which difference is not only accepted but
embraced.
Green light attempts to question the values of similarity and otherness
in our society and to help shape our feelings of identity and togetherness.”
