Turrell’s Architectural Marvel

James Turrell, renowned for his explorations in perception, recently unveiled his 100th Skyscape, titled “As Seen Below,” at the ARoS in Aarhus, Denmark. This stunning addition to his iconic series, spanning over 50 feet in height and 130 feet in width, is an architectural wonder that invites visitors into a world of color and light.

The installation presents a striking visual experience with its vast dome framing an endless interplay between natural skies and deliberate color shifts. Through an oculus, the dome often reveals an unfiltered sky, but at times, it closes, immersing the space in an ethereal glow.

A Global Artistic Journey

“As Seen Below” continues Turrell’s legacy across 26 countries, where his works forever alter perceptions and interactions with space. The installation at ARoS represents both a personal and public achievement, showcasing his lifelong commitment to shaping our visual and sensory experiences.
