Olafur Eliasson

I mean, outside of the road.

And then I got back the next year.

Oh, it hasn't changed.

Then I came back 10 years later.

I mean, I kept going back to the same place.

And if I go today...

Now it's like a lifetime ago, right?

Now it's like 50 years ago or something.

And the tracks are still there.

So talking about slowness, the particular kind of slowness that Arctic nature has, if you drive once over moss, it will basically take more than a lifetime for it to sort of repair itself.

So that made me a bit somehow conscious about the environment and to not fool around and certainly not drive across it.

And the fragility...

You know, this very fine quality of the blue light and the way it changed when the sun hit the glacier.

The very, very fine changes in environment when the weather changed a little bit and the way the glaciers, they would actually be alive.

It's not just a chunk of ice.

They're constantly doing something.

They're talking to you in a sense.

Or the way that if you drive across moss, that moss is just gone.

It's not going to come back.

So I started thinking of Iceland not necessarily as nature, but as culture or nature culture.
