Olafur Eliasson's Notion Motion returns with great reception to Rotterdam at a time that the city rejects another one of his works, The Kissing Earth, which was proposed to be build in the public square of Rotterdam Centraal. The reception for these two works can be seen as opposite, but they seem to have a lot in common.
The aesthetics in both pieces come with an air of untouchable Utopia. Utopian thinking makes us disregard the imperfect nature of our humanity by focusing on all things perfect. But making the public the center of the work can create a contrast. The public cannot be controlled, predicted, and does not behave. We can observe both sides and reflect upon them.
"Did you know the public would react this aggressively?"
The performance intersects Notion Motion, The Kissing Earth, and the untamed public.
