My Now is Your Surroundings: Process as Object is a significant artist’s book by Olafur Eliasson that documents eight of his pioneering projects from the late 1990s and 2000. These include “Your sun machine” (1997), “Erosion” (1997), and “Room for all colours” (1999). The book explores the artist’s preoccupation with movement, temporality, and the sequential nature of perception. It emphasizes the active role of the viewer in completing the work, where “seeing yourself seeing” becomes a central theme. The publication serves as both a theoretical exploration and a visual archive of Eliasson’s early experiments with natural phenomena like light, water, and heat within a gallery context.
