Unspoken Spaces is a richly illustrated journey through spheres, tunnels, towers, walkways and archways, as well as pavilions and larger buildings realized by artist Olafur Eliasson and his studio since the late 1990s. Binding the spiralling dynamic of these works are essays by renowned writers across a variety of fields, from geologists and historians of art and science to architects, artists, and philosophers. The works range from art installations to striking buildings, such as the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2007 in London (with Kjetil Thorsen) and Your rainbow panorama in Aarhus, Denmark, and the crystalline facade for Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik, each presented through in-depth project descriptions alongside Eliasson's own thoughts.

Unspoken Spaces Reviews
'It seems incredible that such a staggeringly inventive body of work could be contained, much less summarised, in one tome, but 'Unspoken Spaces' succeeds in being both thorough and highly accessible' - Aesthetica
'Unspoken Spaces is a rewarding read and the 'patchwork' of ideas and territories it presents echoes Eliasson's own open and roaming approach to creativity ...Texts by Eliasson and his team are complemented by sharply observed contributions from historians of science, art, philosophy and the natural world on subjects that define the Studio's research interests from molecular science, nature and phenomenology to ideas of space, time and motion' - V&A Magazine
'An exquisite monograph' - AnOther Magazine
