In Cloudy House, Saraceno is looking up, out, and around convention, workings with clouds as a starting point, as he continues in the vein of his visionary Air-Port-City, with an essential air of lightness.

Out of matte, white paper light geometrical structures are constructed, resembling those white plumes in the sky. Some of the polyhedronic structures are suspended individually by nylon wires, floating above the viewer’s head, others group together in an efficient structural integrity under the ceiling. The gallery becomes a domain of molecular and spherical consideration, where cluster-packed modules are gathered under the ceiling following the rule of the Weaire–Phelan foam packing structure. As the earths clouds have the potential to both block and reveal the Sun from and to us, Saraceno’s too reveal and block. We are confronted with questions about contemporary society and its organization, for the potential of an efficient and healthy future, while simultaneously opening a space to loosen the fears we often harbor when grappling with this very topic.
