"Dufttunnel / Scent tunnel" - the publication
Olafur Eliasson ranks among the most renowned artists of his generation. The Icelandic-Danish artist takes up various aspects of the essence of nature and realizes these contemporary interpretations in museums and landscaped parks. The "Dufttunnel" he created for the Autostadt in Wolfsburg exemplifies a fascinating interplay of nature and technology that conspires with visitors' wide-ranging sensory perceptions to form a single whole.
The publication documents this work throughout an entire season, and besides listing the various flowering times of the plants in the tunnel, it also features a consideration of the olfactory phenomenon from the point of view of both science and art history.
