I already looked longer at this artwork than a regular view looks at a painting. Artist knows what he's doing. From a huff post article about the average view time of paintings: "One found that an average viewer goes up to a painting, looks at it for less than two seconds, reads the wall text for another 10 seconds, glances at the painting to verify something in the text, and moves on. Another survey concluded people looked for a median time of 17 seconds."

I was suddenly struck by the thought: 'Mallrats'. In that movie, there is a character called Willam who tries to view one of those 'magic pictures' that were popular in the 1990's. Everyone can see the hidden image ( a ship), except him, including a small child who merely glances at it on entering the mall. Willam even takes a packed lunch in so he can stand all day looking at this damn picture. As the end credits roll, it is shown what happened to the characters (by the way, this movie has the best Stan Lee cameo ever. EVER.), when it gets to Willam, it says: 'Willam never saw the ship.' Tom, standing there, waiting for the flame that never comes, reminded me of Willam. Fascinating installation, though. I like it. It's pleasingly sinister.

I live in Herning and I love Elia! The gigant steps are a struggle, but you feel so satisfied when you reach the top, especially if you climb all four sides! This will of course leave you with sore muscles the following day. I like stranding at the top in all kinds of weather, looking at the flat fields that surrounds Elia. It's often quite windy here, and you feel the wind so strongly at the top. My children and dog love Elia too, we often go there, even at night. Looking at stars, or at a full moon, feels really special from Elia. How you perceive a piece of art is never the same for two people, but to me this huge, odd thing has come to belong here, and represents to me that not everything has to be as straight forward.
