Eye See You lamps for Louis Vuitton and the 121Ethiopia foundation

Commissioned by Louis Vuitton, about four hundred deliberately low-tech lamps — a monofrequency light source and a parabolic mirror — are installed in the stores' Christmas windows, while a lamp titled You See Me goes on permanent display at Louis Vuitton Fifth Avenue in New York. All fees are donated to 121Ethiopia.org, a charitable foundation he initially established with his wife to renovate an orphanage.

“Take Your Time” — his first major US survey

SFMOMA, with curator Madeleine Grynsztejn, presents Eliasson's first major survey in the United States, spanning his work from 1993 to 2007; the museum's skylight bridge is turned into the installation “One-way colour tunnel”. The exhibition then tours to the Museum of Modern Art and P.S.1 in New York (2008), Dallas (2008–2009), Chicago (2009) and Sydney (2009–2010).
