Random International - Rain Room

Loving Random International work particularly the Rain Room, 2012, situated at the Barbican Concert Hall, London.

It explores the interaction between human behaviour and the installation and what interests me is the engagement of the senses.

As people progress through the space, the sound of water and a suggestion of moisture fill the air, before you are confronted by a carefully choreographed downpour that responds to your movements and presence.
People can play God for a little while. Let there be rain!

Check out also the beautiful McGregor, Richter & Random: choreographic interventions at the Rain Room, 2012.

Villa Vals - Switzerland

A home that slices into the mountain, enveloped by its natural surroundings.
It has hints of Gordon Matta Clarke to me.
