cluster cloud
Interactive installation (study for a larger immersive work)
Aluminium, steel cable, cloth, lace, cushion, notebook, and pen
Presented at Work in Progress, interactive art festival, Mexico City
Developed through material experimentation, the work evolved from early tests with string and stones toward the use of cloth and lace. This transformation altered both the physical and symbolic language of the piece, as the suspended circular structure began to evoke multiple forms of shelter: a child’s mobile, a mosquito net protecting dreamlike spaces, or an improvised blanket refuge.
Entering the installation creates a temporary interior—secluded yet partially visible through the translucent fabric. A cushion and notebook invite participants to pause, write, or draw, with their responses becoming part of the evolving record of the work.
Cluster Cloud functions as an ongoing investigation into how material, scale, and spatial intimacy influence perception, creating a space between protection and exposure, interiority and connection.
