Olafur Eliasson's 2018 Reality projector is a site-responsive artwork that uses the lateral motion of two projectors to illuminate a series of colored gel overlaid onto ceiling-mounted trusses, resulting in architecturally scaled, kaleidoscopic patterns that softly animate the Marciano Art Foundation's (MAF) expansive first floor Theatre Gallery (fig.1) . [...] Reality projector can also be read as a renegotiation of the logic of cinematic abstraction. Located in Hollywood, the epicenter of the American film industry [...]. Eliasson's Reality projector casts an unrelenting focus on the shifting nature of our ritual of seeing and, more urgently, our habits of picturing.
