The sculptures refer to Tomás Saraceno's larger ongoing project Cloud Cities, in which the artist explores the possibilities of future autonomous and sustainable environments, architecture and urbanism.
Saraceno seeks to propose utopian visions of cities, settlements, and gardens, floating in the air and relying only on the energy of natural sources. His visions are informed by the interdisciplinary research that he carries out together with his studio—a series of forays into material science, biology, astrophysics, engineering, and atmospheric studies.
