Meteoros | Clouds

A suspended meeting place, the sky is the agora of our imagination.

Meteoros is derived from the ancient Greek, meaning ‘in the midst’. Clouds have long been intercessors between reality and the imagination, between heaven and earth, lightness and gravity. They inhabit the skies of Renaissance fresco paintings, often depicted crowded with laymen and prophets, angels and deities. Throughout history, this celestial vault has been a site of conviviality, of learning and exchange.

'Meteoros Clouds' are five ethereal sculptures that float above the passengers of Lille Flandres railway station in France commissioned for for the exhibition Renaissance by Lille 3000. This monumental installation originally commissioned for London’s St Pancras International (2013), has now been completed with a series of cumulus carrying three winged cherubs.
