Title → Hegel and the Art of Liberation: Interaction and Self-Consciousness in Olafur Eliasson's Works
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the deep connection between G.W.F. Hegel's idealist philosophy, particularly the concepts of self-consciousness and liberation, and the artistic approach of contemporary Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. It discusses how Eliasson's immersive and experiential installations engage viewers in a Hegelian dialectic between mind and world, leading to enhanced self-awareness and liberation. The concept of "liberation in darkness" is introduced, illustrating how encountering perceptual ambiguities and challenges fosters deeper understanding of self and world.
