A variety of art projects throughout the Oslo Opera House explore the building's space, color, light, and texture.
Shown here are perforated wall panels by artist Olafur Eliasson. Encompassing 340 square meters, the panels surround three detached concrete roof supports and take their inspiration from the glacial shape of the roof above.
Three-dimensional hexagonal openings in the panels are illuminated from the floor and from behind with beams of white and green light. The lights fade in and out, creating shifting shadows and the illusion of slowly melting ice.
