The Nimbus Museum

A nimbus is a dark and irregular cloud of medium height that produces precipitations. These clouds close the sky in such a way that they do not allow sunlight to penetrate due to their great density. The nimbus can also produce electrical discharges.

In one way or another, we all have our own nimbus; negative thoughts that haunt us and prevent us from seeing clearly. When one of these dark clouds hangs over us, our mind gets caught in a storm that we can’t get rid of and that controls us at his will, making our world a darker and more unstable place. But can we take control of these dark clouds?

In The Nimbus Museum, these fears, phobias or conflicts that we all have are represented through a series of sculptures and bodies that rest in a labyrinthine museum. Here the nimbus are carefully placed and under control, but any variation could upset their balance, triggering unpredictable events.
