A Crash Course in Cloudspotting
Presentation
An invitation to pause. To rest. To listen.
Raquel Meseguer Zafe has gathered over 300 stories from people living with invisible disabilities and chronic illnesses. This immersive 35-minute installation / 55-minute installation and performance invites audiences into the heart of these experiences, while participants from across the UK illuminate the space with a gentle choreography of lights. Patterns of rest unfolding in real time.
