Known for his immersive artworks, Olafur Eliasson first discovered his passion for movement through street dance. It allowed him to explore the body’s relationship with the world around it. A spontaneous dance in a Berlin restaurant introduced this aspect of his art to Peggy Gou, the South Korean electronic music icon and his friend, leading to a most unlikely collaboration.
Eliasson’s involvement in Gou’s debut album, I Hear You, is extensive. The artist’s creation, the Psychoacoustic Empathy Amp (2023), features prominently on the album cover, with Gou wearing mirrored earpieces that reflect her ears in a ring-like pattern. This aural sculpture explores sound reception and brain interpretation.
