A Crash Course in Cloudspotting is an intimate audio journey exploring the depths of human connection and the subversive act of lying down. This project began in 2016, when artist Raquel Meseguer Zafe (accidentally) set off a security alert by lying down on the top floor of the Southbank Centre, London. Since then, she has collected over 250 stories about people’s attempts to rest in public who live with hidden disabilities and chronic illnesses around the country.
A Crash Course in Cloudspotting tells some of these stories.
We invite you to enter the beautiful installation space and find a place to rest.
Suspended lights will illuminate your horizontal journey that are activated in real-time by participants taking rest at that very moment in Coventry, across the UK and Europe. Audio speakers will share the collected stories with you, as you continue to rest and delve into the heart of these personal experiences.
