Eliasson’s arts have always been social participation (also in terms of
interaction, use of public spaces and rising of soc<span class="text_exposed_show">ial
awareness) and the dialogue with the natural environment. The artistic
act, in an exemplary project as Little Sun, can become a call for action

initiatives and local contexts. Our actions have consequences for the
worlds.</span></span><br><br>Read the interview: <a href="http://www.digicult.it/news/a-little-sun-in-the-art-world-interview-to-elafur-eliasson/">http://www.digicult.it/news/a-little-sun-in-the-art-world-interview-to-elafur-eliasson/</a><br>
