Cloud Cities Barcelona is published in conjunction with the eponymous permanent installation at the Torre Glòries, Barcelona, which opened in 2022.
Through a series of conversations, short texts, visual documentation and historical references, the publication gives an expanded window into the cultural and scientific value of clouds, situating the artwork within Tomás Saraceno’s broader artistic output. With photographic documentation of Cloud Cities Barcelona alongside an extensive overview of the artist’s research methodology, the publication features an interview between Saraceno & Joseph Grima, micro-fictions written for the artwork’s opening, and guest essays from Ersilia Vaudo and Beatriz Colomina. It captures the communal contemplations, dialogues, and critical reflections that emerge within the artwork Cloud Cities Barcelona, and weaves together many of the social, architectural and environmental challenges posed by cities today.
