Wolken Plukken (2023)

Dimensions: 260 cm x 90 cm x 230 cm
Materials: plastic bottles, tubing, bicycle pumps, alcohol
Wolken Plukken is an interactive installation that explores the increasingly tangible manipulation of weather systems through cloud seeding technology. Once seen as divine and unreachable, the sky is now subject to human control—its clouds cultivated and engineered. This work reflects on that transformation, inviting viewers to engage with the phenomenon on a personal, tactile level.

Visitors activate the piece by pumping air into a suspended plastic bottle. When the bottle is removed from the installation, a dense white cloud briefly forms inside. Held in the hands, this ephemeral cloud evokes both wonder and unease—appearing suddenly, only to fade moments later. Picking Clouds invites reflection on our changing relationship to the atmosphere, where even the clouds above us are no longer beyond our grasp.
