Frozen Cascades

Model for a Timeless Garden

Olafur Eliasson

"When a strobe light is used to illuminate flowing streams of water, the cascade appears as individual 'droplets' of liquid. By adjusting the frequency of the strobe, the droplets are made to seem as if frozen in midair... With the succession of 27 different fountains, the strobe effect produces an ever-changing landscape of apparently icy festoons and crystal garlands."
