"Cognitive scientists claim that people place gods in the blue sky because looking up causes a dopamine rush in the brain. But clouds do much more than draw the eye upwards. They invent our imagination." Anne Carson

Clouds are one of the few suspended states of water visible to the naked eye, as water vapour diffused in the atmosphere usually remains invisible. They are air and water - the space in which living things unfold condensed into impure particles that scatter and refract sunlight. With clouds, the sky changes colour.

In a space screened by a cloudy sky and traversed by the song The Pure and the Damned by Oneothrix Point Never, OHT creates evanescent atmospheres, combining light in an empty scene; an overlook to the sky.

The Pure and the Damned
musica e testo Oneothrix Point Never, voce Iggy Pop
Love, make me clean
Love, touch me, cure me
The pure always act from love
The damned always act from love
Every day I think about untwisting and untangling these strings I’m in
And to lead a pure life I look ahead at a clear sky
Ain’t gonna get there
But it’s a nice dream, it’s a nice dream
Death, make me brave
Death, leave me swinging
The pure always act from love
The damned always act from love
The truth is an act of love
Some day, I swear, we’re gonna go to a place where we can do everything we want to
And we can pet the crocodiles
Love
The pure always act from love
The damned always act from love
That’s love
The pure always act from love
That’s love
The pure and the damned
The pure and the damned
Love
The damned
