Exhausted clouds

Installation, 2024

‘Exhausted clouds’ focuses on the physical representation of pollution. Principally air contamination that is suspended over the in-between spaces around the big cities due to a heavy automotive culture and lack of reliable public transport services, that is united with the building of industrial parks and complex processes of gentrification, suburbanization, massification and expansion of the economic activities around the urban cores that absorb the nearby small cities, villages and territories.

The site-specific installation comprises a variable of bedsheets that were painted with contaminating agents founded in scavenged hubcaps, tires, wheels, exhausted pipes, filters, etc., laying in highways, roads and other streets that connect the city centre with the out squirts and the working centres with the residential neighbourhoods. The pollution was extracted by water dissolution and using action-painting approaches to apply it on the bedsheets.
