Little Sun Original

 All You Need Is Light

Designed by Eliasson together with engineer Frederik Ottesen, for the 1.6 billion people worldwide who live off the electrical grid, “Little Sun” responds to the situation we face today, where natural resources no longer abound. “Little Sun” transforms the light that is for all of us into light that is for each of us.

By buying Little Sun at full price in areas of the world with electricity, you help make it available at a lower price to communities with no or inconsistent electricity. Retailers close to off-grid communities are able to make a profit while keeping Little Sun affordable, so that the lamps reach those users who do not have access to electricity – where Little Sun can make the most difference.

Knowing Feeling Acting

We all know a lot.
How does knowledge feel?
And how do you feel that you know?
How do you feel what you know?
How do your feelings feel?
Your felt feeling!

Consult your feeling of being disconnected and being connected,
Being indifferent or committed.
Does feeling connected make you more empathic?
Does empathy make your surroundings more tangible?
Are your feelings embodied knowledge?
Does your body drive action?
What space makes you want to act?
Does your felt knowledge make space for others?
Your felt space!

There is a difference between wanting to act and acting.
One is thinking, the other doing.
Do you recognise the feeling of wanting to act but not acting?
Hold this feeling.
Then consult your own experience of empathic action.
Now pause.
How does the discrepancy between the desire to act and the experience of action feel?
Bring the pause to an end. 

—Olafur Eliasson

About Olafur Eliasson

Olafur Eliasson’s art is driven by his interests in perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self. Eliasson strives to make the concerns of art relevant to society at large. Art, for him, is a crucial means for turning thinking into doing in the world. Eliasson’s diverse works – in sculpture, painting, photography, film, and installations – have been exhibited widely throughout the world. Not limited to the confines of the museum and gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through architectural projects and interventions in civic space.
