Discuss how Olafur Eliasson’s Waterfall demonstrates the qualities of site-specific art.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In the gardens of Versailles, Eliasson created a huge cascade of water by using a metal scaffold and pumps to carry the water from the lake to an unknown height.
2. This work is site-specific because it was created solely for the gardens of Versailles and its meaning relies on the presence of other waterfalls and fountains on the property.
