Meanwhile, in the life of Olafur Eliasson
The whole life1996–1998

1997–1998

At the São Paulo Biennial, where he shows work (in 1997 by one account, in 1998 by another), Eliasson meets the Danish art historian Marianne Krogh Jensen, who curated the Danish Pavilion; they will marry in 2003.
1999
The Spiral Pavilion at the Venice Biennale
The pavilion, conceived in 1999 for the Venice Biennale and now on display at Kunsthalle Bielefeld, wins Eliasson the Benesse Prize from the Benesse Corporation. The same year he takes part in the Carnegie International.
2001
“The Mediated Motion” at Kunsthaus Bregenz
With the landscape architect Gunther Vogt he fills the spaces of Austria's Kunsthaus Bregenz with water, fog, earth, wood, fungi and duckweed: moving through the show, visitors meet a range of sensory experiences. The same year he has solo exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe.
