Cloud for Kochi
Alfredo Jaar’s installation has been created within a space filled with water, a precious resource in the world but also in India and particularly in this region. A walkway is being built along its length, allowing people to “walk on water” from one end to the other. Once in the walkway, they will discover a text in neon on the two long walls. These texts are written in reverse, making them unreadable but poetic signs. By looking at their reflection in the water, they become readable. He will select a fragment from one of the most beautiful poems ever written in any language: Kalidasa’s Cloud Messenger, choosing the segments related to water and clouds, and ideally locate these texts on the wall in the shape of a cloud. On one side, the text is in Sanskrit.
