Few people have the luxury of being able to experience Eliasson's work, in person. This book goes a long way to capturing his genius and the sheer beauty of his unexpected creations. I would rather see the real thing - but this is a delightful 2nd-best.

Great overview, but a tad dense in the presentation and the balance between english and german text. Good reference though.
