In 2003, Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson transformed the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern into an artificial sun-filled space aglow with the light of hundreds of yellow bulbs that formed a semi-circle, the mirrored ceiling is what gave the light installation a full circular appearance. Eliasson’s The Weather Project examined the dominant role that weather has played in our lives throughout history, exploring ideas of experience, mediation and representation. Perhaps an appropriate set for the pajama tops and bottoms in duchess satin shown at the Marc Jacobs FW 2013 show, Jacobs looked to the 2003 installation with his own version of a large yellow morning sun.
