The Serpentine Gallery has commissioned Olafur Eliasson and architect Kjetil Thorsen to design its Pavilion in 2007. Based on the principle of a winding ramp, the Pavilion explores the idea of vertical circulation within a single space.
“Our collaboration on the Serpentine Pavilion 2007 is defined by our mutual focus on the experience of space and on temporality as a constitutive element of spaces, private or public. We both work within a field of spatial experimentation that renders conceptual differences between art and architecture superfluous.”
The publication comprises extensive visual material documenting the development and realisation of the pavilion; two essays by Doreen Massey, Professor of Geography at The Open University (UK), and Andreas Ruby, architecture critic; a conversation between Olafur Eliasson, Kjetil Thorsen, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Julia Peyton-Jones (Co-directors, Serpentine Gallery).

Serpentine Galleryは2007年、Olafur Eliassonと建築家Kjetil Thorsenへパビリオンデザインを依頼した。このパビリオンは、曲がりくねった傾斜の原理をベースとし、1つの空間のなかで垂直的流れを探索する。
「私たちのコラボレーションであるSerpentine Pavilion 2007は、空間の体験/空間や公私の構成要素としての一時性という相互の焦点によって定義される。私たちはもとより、互いにアートと建築の狭間でコンセプチュアルな差異を表現するような、空間的実験の分野で活動している。」 
本書は、パビリオンの開発と実現を記録した広範囲にわたる視覚的な資料により構成される。また、Doreen Massey(イギリスThe Open University、地理学教授)とAndreas Ruby(建築批評家)によるエッセイのほか、Olafur Eliasson, Kjetil Thorsen, Hans Ulrich ObristとJulia Peyton-Jones (Serpentine Gallery共同ディレクター)との会話が綴られている。
