Black Cloud, 2007-2023
30,000 paper moths glued on the walls and ceiling.
Dimensions variable according to space.

The dream like image of a vaulted space filled with a swarm of moths motivated its materialization in paper and installation by occupying the entirety of the artist’s studio. From this initial moment the piece was packaged and send to be exhibited in an art gallery, then in the context of an art fair, a museum, the house of a collector and finally in a former church. The piece was installed by using the entirety of the rooms, both in the public and private areas, without making distinctions, adjusting to the architectural conditions.
