The reflection of a ring on a large mirror attracts groups of visitors, who take out their phones and click many photos that will later be shared on social media.
Olafur Eliasson, who has created the artwork for his first show in Beijing, is getting used to Chinese audiences.
At the Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing, the Icelandic-Danish artist is presenting more than 30 immersive installations, sculptures and paintings.
At the opening of the show, entitled Unspeakable Openness of Things, on March 23, large crowds came to the museum.
Eliasson says he wants people to enjoy his show through physical experience, such as feeling and smelling instead of only seeing it through phone cameras.
