Olafur Eliasson is an amazing example to look at. His Weather project has always stuck with we, and I find it to be such an incredibly piece of art work. I find it interesting how people reacted to the piece, the fact that everyone is laying down and almost seem to be sunbathing is astonishing. I also like the fact that this work is incredibly photographic, and really does look like the sun setting.

In this installation, The Weather Project, representations of the sun and sky dominate the expanse of the Turbine Hall. A fine mist permeates the space, as if creeping in from the environment outside. Throughout the day, the mist accumulates into faint, cloud-like formations, before dissipating across the space. - Source
Now, my work is clearly very different from Olafur Eliasson's, but I want to capture a sense of outdoors and a different kind of setting in the space given.
During my first session of the installation workshop, we worked with other students to help and experiment with each others work and see what we came up with. I began to experiment with the blinds that covered a window.
I thought this would gave me a look of old family videos captured on a vintage cinecam, where the video sometimes break up or have black lines running through them.
I realised that on certain parts of my video, it looked like a window which I found pretty interesting.
In this same session, I found that putting trees or water in places that you would normally see them, such as having this same scene overhead onto the ceiling really brought the outdoors inside. I found it quite fascinating. I also tried putting water from a moving river onto the floor, just to experiment to see what would happen.
